Pritzen’s teammate Alex Worsdale rides in second and David Maree (Team Enza) third
Marc Pritzen was speechless and Carla Oberholzer full of words of praise after the two won the Discovery 947 Ride Joburg at the Riversands Commercial Park on Sunday.
They would never be caught and managed to open the gap to close on 3min before Daryl Impey, who became the second South African to win an individual stage in the Tour de France in 2019, put the hammer down in the chasing pack. “At one stage I didn’t think our break would stay away,” said Pritzen. “The gap started coming down quite quickly, but then we realised that without us really pushing hard, the gap stayed the same and even increased a little. I think there was some hesitation in the group behind us.
Oberholzer also benefited from a strong break in the women’s race to set up a sprint against Joanna van der Winkel , who was second, and Parys Edwards , who took third.
