It was a bleak day on Stage 3 of the Absa Cape Epic for two top teams. Swede Jennie Stenerhag, second overall in the winner's category with South African Robyn de Groot (Team Ascendis Health), collapsed over the finish line after a tough and very hot 104km ride. She was immediately taken to the race hospital by stretcher to be checked out.
