The Dutch rider also has the opportunity to achieve the coveted Epic Legend status, reserved for those who complete the Absa Cape Epic and two Legend status races on the circuit. "I didn't plan it, but knowing that I can achieve it here makes me very excited," confessed Van Doorn.

Her teammate, Swiss rider Wüst, returns to competition after a tough injury suffered in the Cape Epic, making this race her reunion with major stage races. "These last months have been tough, but I am ready to come back," she stated.
