2026 Cape Epic Stage 6 Results

The 2026 Cape Epic's penultimate Stage 6 saw Team Bulls' Simon Schneller and Urs Huber clinch a decisive victory, crossing the line 1 minute and 12 seconds ahead of their nearest rivals, Canyon CLLCTV's Andreas Seewald and Martin Stosek. This win significantly solidified Schneller and Huber's overall lead, extending their advantage to 3 minutes and 45 seconds heading into the final stage of the demanding eight-day mountain bike race.

This stage win is particularly poignant for the veteran duo of Schneller and Huber, who have both experienced the highs and lows of the Cape Epic over numerous editions. Their consistent performance throughout the week, culminating in this critical penultimate stage victory, positions them strongly for what would be a career-defining overall win. It also underscores the enduring strength of the Team Bulls program, a perennial powerhouse in the Absa Cape Epic, demonstrating their meticulous preparation and tactical acumen in multi-stage racing.

With only the final, often processional, stage remaining, Schneller and Huber's lead appears insurmountable. Barring mechanical catastrophe or an unforeseen incident, the 2026 Cape Epic title is all but secured, a testament to relentless consistency in the face of brutal African trails.
