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.

The foundation of HYROX preparation should always be aerobic fitness. The eight kilometres of running account for the majority of race time, making running economy one of the biggest determinants of performance. At the same time, neglecting the stations can be equally costly, particularly on the sled push, sled pull, wall balls, and lunges.
A well-rounded HYROX preparation plan should focus on:
Nutritech has officially launched the updated packaging for its long-standing PROVEN PROTEIN range, continuing the brand’s broader evolution toward cleaner communication, stronger shelf presence, and clearer product positioning.
The refreshed design introduces a more modern and performance-focused identity while retaining the recognisable elements that have made PROVEN Protein a staple within the South African supplement market for years. The new packaging places greater emphasis on simplicity and functionality, allowing key product information and intended use to stand out more clearly for both new and existing consumers.

Every year around the last Monday in May, thousands of athletes across the world take on one of CrossFit’s most recognised, and brutal workouts: Murph. On paper, it looks simple.
But Murph is rarely experienced on paper. It is a workout that exposes pacing, muscular endurance, aerobic capacity, hydration, and mental composure, often all at once. For many athletes, it becomes less about fitness and more about managing fatigue intelligently from start to finish.
Nutritech is proud to announce its official collaboration with the South African Football Association (SAFA), bringing together performance nutrition and national identity in the lead-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States of America.
