Wet ground left by the winter rains added to the challenge.</p><p>The leading men’s teams stayed together for much of the stage before the racing intensified in the final kilometres.</p><p>Pritzen and Stehli finished in the same time as Du Preez and Goosen, while Insect Science Safari Essence’s Jan Withaar and Wessel Botha were third, one second behind.</p><p>Despite the stage result, Pritzen and Stehli retained the overall men’s lead after two stages. They are 8min 6sec ahead of Withaar and Botha, with Du Preez and Goosen a further 1min 46sec behind.</p><h3 style="font-weight: 600; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.2;">Women’s race</h3><p>Efficient Infiniti Insure continued its dominance in the UCI Women’s race, with Samantha Sanders and Sarah Maré claiming their second consecutive stage victory.</p><p>The pair finished in 3:37:01, 8min 21sec ahead of Hollard Summerplace Racing’s Chloé Hopf and Lilian Baber.</p><p>Cycle Nation Enza Construction’s Rachel Seaman and Bianca Botha finished third in 3:49:38.</p><blockquote><p>Sanders and Maré extended their overall lead to 24min 54sec over Hopf and Baber. Danielle du Toit and Roxanne Kemp remain third overall.</p></blockquote><p>Stage 3 will take riders from Louvain to Langenhoven Gimnasium in Oudtshoorn on Thursday. The 92km route includes 1 400m of climbing, with the toughest ascent coming within the first 11km. Riders will then face rocky dual tracks and river crossings.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib class1" style="display: block; margin: 5px auto; float: none; width: 661px; text-align: center;"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://cms.groupeditors.com/img/2026/Sep/5d1e0993-bec4-484d-b2f3-177795f48c44.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib class1" style="display: block; margin: auto; float: none;"><span class="fr-inner"><em>Bianca Botha (leading) had a superb day on Stage 2, racing to third alongside Rachel Seaman for Cycle Nation Enza Construction.</em><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib class1" style="display: block; margin: 5px auto; float: none; width: 661px; text-align: center;"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://cms.groupeditors.com/img/2026/Sep/8d2a4d8b-83a1-41f9-9338-8c406f626dc3.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib class1" style="display: block; margin: auto; float: none;"><span class="fr-inner"><em>The depth of the Insect Science squad has Arno du Toit (leading)
