The Burry Stander Memorial Trophy - Presented to the overall winner of the ABSA African Jersey
 
The Burry Stander Memorial Trophy was shown for the first time to ABSA Cape Epic riders at the Prologue (17 March 2013) of this year’s ABSA Cape Epic. Burry Stander, who died tragically in a collision with a taxi whilst training on 3 January 2013, would have ridden the 2013 event as the reigning champion. Created by Angus Taylor, the trophy will honour the first and to date only South African winner. It will be awarded to the overall winner of the ABSA African Jersey. The African Jersey was introduced in 2007 and awarded to the leading African riders in the race.(cape-epic.com)
The trophy will be presented at the final at Lourensford Wine Estate tomorrow.

Don't forget that tonight at 8:30pm is Earth Hour, please turn off your lights and help save our planet.
