Press Release: March 23, 2026 – Port Elizabeth, South Africa
Matt Beers and Tristan Nortje delivered a commanding performance to secure overall victory at the 2026 Cape Epic, closing out the race with a decisive final stage that underlined both their resilience and tactical maturity.
In doing so, the pair made history, becoming the first all-South African team to win the race in its 22 editions, a landmark moment for local cycling and the broader endurance community.
Widely regarded as one of the most demanding stage races in the world, the Cape Epic tests far more than physical strength. Over eight days of racing, riders are pushed through relentless terrain, extreme fatigue, and constant strategic pressure. This year’s edition proved no different.
Beers and Nortje entered the final stage within striking distance, but it was their ability to execute under pressure that ultimately defined the race. With measured aggression and composure, they capitalised on the opportunity, overturning the deficit and securing the overall title in a performance that will be remembered as one of the standout moments of the event.
Their victory reflects more than a single day’s effort. It is the result of years of structured preparation, disciplined training, and a consistent approach to performance. Since 2017, Imbuko Pro-Cycling have been part of the NUTRITECH family, building a system that emphasises the fundamentals — effective fueling, proper hydration, and deliberate recovery.
At this level of competition, marginal gains compound quickly. The ability to sustain energy output, manage fatigue, and recover between stages often determines the outcome as much as raw power. For Beers and Nortje, this consistency proved decisive.
The win also represents a broader team achievement. Behind the riders stands a coordinated effort of coaches, support staff, and partners, all aligned around a shared standard of performance. It is within this system that success is built — not only on race day, but in the months and years leading up to it.
As the dust settles on Cape Epic 2026, one thing is clear: this was not simply a victory of strength, but of preparation, execution, and composure under pressure.
For NUTRITECH, it is a moment of pride to have supported that journey — and a reminder that at the highest level, performance is never accidental.
