The BH duo formed by Portuguese Tiago Ferreira and Spanish David Valero is one of the most anticipated pairs for this Cape Epic 2025. Both will compete with a spectacular custom BH Lynx RACE for the occasion, but due to their sponsors, each will have a different setup. Here we bring you both.

Although Valero and Tiago are one of the favorite pairs for the podium, the truth is that they could be the big surprise of this edition. Both compete under the official BH umbrella but each comes from different teams and that is reflected in the setup of their bikes.

The first thing that catches the eye is the spectacular aesthetics of the frame that has been customized with an animal print finish on a white and intense red background. Both the colors and the design are inspired by the tones of the sky and the fauna of the South African savannah through which the race takes place.

In addition, both also coincide in the frame size, an XL. Valero and Tiago will almost certainly be, with their 1.9 meters, two of the tallest cyclists in this edition.

Tiago Ferreira's BH Lynx RACE setup

The setup of former XCM world champion Tiago Ferreira stands out for the electronics and it is curious to see how in the same pair both ride the same bike model and yet they seem very different.
