Heat, dust, headwinds and mechanical problems could not prevent Swiss Christoph Sauser and Czech Jaroslav Kulhavy from winning stage 5 of the Absa Cape Epic from Worcester to Wellington on Friday (March 20th) – their fourth stage win of the 2015 race. <br />The 121km / 2.500m climbing route also included some fierce climbs and took them up the national monument that is Bain’s Kloof Pass. <br /> <br />The women’s race continued to be dominated by Ariane Kleinhans from Switzerland and Annika Langvad from Denmark (team RECM), extending their lead to around 50 minutes over their closest challengers.
