Hello, freedom Family and thank you for joining us on the eve of day two of Race Across South Africa 2026.

We have riders spanning all the way from Rhodes to Two Springs at the moment. We've just got news from Rhodes that's Drikus, race leader, has arrived and he's looking great. Not sure yet of what his plans are from there.

The field goes all the way to Two Springs. A large group of riders staying there tonight, and these riders are making sure they are ahead of the three day cutoff at Checkpoint one. So the strategy of this group has been to sleep at Centocow night one, tonight at Two Springs and tomorrow they'll be at Malek, ahead of Thursday morning's cutoff at 8:00 AM. It is very durable if nothing bad goes wrong for that group.

Tonight we are gonna be joined by Kevin Benkenstein. He is one of South Africa's most accomplished and respected gravel bike riders. He came a few years ago to do the Freedom Circuit 700 kilometer route and he absolutely smashed it.

Riders featured in this episode:

• Giles Clinton - Cap 8

Guest: Kevin Benkinstein
