SA duo bag respective men's and women's Cape Town Cycle Tour titles

South Africa's Kent Main won the men's elite Cape Town Cycle Tour on Sunday, while compatriot Tiffany Keep won the women's elite race.

In perfect conditions for cycling, the 28-year-old Main crossed the line in an unofficial time of 2:31:21.

Charlie Aldridge of Great Britain finished second, 14 seconds behind, while South Africa’s Alan Hatherly came third.

"I've got goosebumps," Main said. "It's amazing! It was an amazing race. It was super hard right from the beginning but I think how tough it was actually worked in our favour. It's amazing to have won it!"

Meanwhile on the women's side, the 23-year-old Keep crossed the finish line in a record time of 2:12.01.

South Arica's S'annara Grove took second place with Namibia's Vera Looser finishing third.

"We didn't know who got it," Keep confessed. “It was super, super close. S'annara jumped me with about 100 metres to go and I had to work quite hard to get back to her wheel. So, yes, I’m really, very, happy with that!"

The men's race covered 109 km and women's race 78km.
