10 Mar MASSI ISB SPORT AT THE ABSA CAPE EPIC 2026
Team Report: Massi ISB Sport, Ambassador of ISB Sport
The Massi ISB Sport team will be present at the 2026 Absa Cape Epic with two powerful pairs ready to tackle one of the most demanding XCM stage races in the world.
Women’s Team
The duo of Tessa Kortekaas and Mónica Calderón will lead the women’s category. In the 2025 edition, they entertained us stage after stage, achieving several stage wins and reaching the podium on multiple occasions. They will undoubtedly be key players once again.
Men’s Team
In the men’s category, we will have Axel Roudil, the current French champion, who will be competing in his third Cape Epic, accompanied by the young Mati Aran, who will be making his debut in this extremely tough 8-stage competition, classified as an HC event and considered by many to be the best XCM stage race in the world.
We are Ready!
The team will travel to South Africa a week before the start of the race to acclimatize and fully prepare for this great challenge.
Stay tuned, because next week we’ll be unveiling the new Massi Aire SLR Replica Cape Epic.
From ISB Sport, we wish you the best of luck and are proud to contribute our technology, confident that our high-end bearings will provide you with maximum reliability and performance during every stage of this great challenge.
