The demanding eight-day adventure through the Western Cape region in South Africa took place across March 18-25. The Absa Cape Epic is the largest full-service mountain bike stage race in the world. Mountain bikers from around the world travel to South Africa to compete for the top spot in the race.

Representing Team Woolworths Rotolabel was Grant Watson, sales director at Rotolabel, and Brett Van Coller. It was a third completed Absa Cape Epic Race for both.

Michael Aengenvoort, Rotocon owner, commented: ‘We are pleased to once again co-sponsor Team Woolworths Rotolabel in the Absa Cape Epic Race and applaud Grant and Brett in successfully completing their third Epic, and in record time. It is truly an exciting race for South Africa and the world.’

Watson noted: ‘Without great partners like Rotocon, an event of this magnitude would not be possible.’

Rotolabel was also a sponsor of the recent fourth annual Wine Label Design Awards. The competition seeks to reward the best design and packaging for bottled wine made in South Africa and judging criteria include originality of concept, execution, shelf appeal and effectiveness as a piece of communication.
