The Toyota Specialized pair formed by Chris Blevins and Matt Beers took the victory of the Absa Cape Epic 2023 on the last day after a very consistent race in which they had to make up for a considerable time loss suffered on the opening stage. This is Blevins' Specialized Epic with which they achieved the feat.
