Cape Epic Stage 2 Recap | Jenna Rinehart & Leah Van der Linden
from The Stable Cyclist · host John Peter
Stage 2 of the Cape Epic took Jenna Rinehart and Leah Van der Linden from Montagu back to Montagu for a long, fast day of racing in South Africa. In this daily recap, they break down a strong performance on the results sheet while also opening up about the emotional side of racing as a team when one rider feels like she may have let the other down. JP, Jenna, and Leah talk about the psychology of pairs racing, how momentum can swing multiple times even within a single stage, and why staying patient matters so much in a race as long and demanding as Cape Epic. They also share what post-race recovery actually looks like, from the finish line all the way back to the Airbnb, in another inside look at the women’s race during one of the hardest mountain bike stage races in the world.
