“I didn’t know we were the favourites,” Lill, who took second in the elite class in 2019, told the race website. “Honestly, that doesn’t put any pressure on me. We know what we are capable of together and believe that we can win, regardless of what others think. We are both very motivated for this one for many reasons and it would be super cool to bring it home for South African women.

“But I feel I know the route for this year’s edition better than ever before, since I prepared a lot on this route ahead of the 2020 race. I also rode every stage during the planned 2020 Epic week, since the route was open and marked. Also, because it’s so close to ‘home’ and I have raced a lot in the area over the years, I know these trails very well.
