Niyonshuti gets his stage win at DCM Cape Pioneer Trek

Richie Tyler

Stage 1 | Stage 2 | Stage 3 | Stage 4 | Stage 5 | Stage 6

After a series of near-misses, Kevin Evans and Adrien Niyonshuti took advantage of their final opportunity to claim a stage win at the DCM Cape Pioneer Trek. The duo finished the final stage one second ahead of Christoph Sauser and Silvio Bundi. Overall race winners Max Knox and Thomas Zahnd protected their lead through the final day and finished in third, 20 seconds in arrears of Evans and Niyonshuti.

Just a day earlier Evans had lamented the fact that he and his teammate had missed out on a stage win in the race to that point. But they made no mistake on the final day, seeing off a challenge from stage three winners Sauser and Bundi.

While the teams of two set the pace in pairs, Pieter Seyffert sealed overall victory in the individual men’s classification. Stuart Marais finished second, with Erik Kleinhans taking the third podium spot. Christine Jansen Van Rensburg completed the course to take the women’s category.

The solo men’s classification was taken out by Klasie Lategan, with Bernice Lategan in second and Fred Lingenfelder in third.
