In Episode 2 of Season 2 the Diverge Podcast dives deep into the 2025 Momentum Medical Scheme Tankwa Trek, presented by Biogen. The twelfth edition proved a dramatic one with punctures, crashes and illness all taking their toll. While there was plenty misfortune to go around, it did not affect the victors at all as Imbuko ChemChamp and She Sends stormed to commanding wins in the UCI Men’s and Women’s categories respectively. Marco Joubert and Tristan Nortje controlled from the front and avoided any issues on their way to the yellow jerseys, while Candice Lill and Kate Courtney won all four stages and the Queen of the Mountain hotspot prize for a perfect clean sweep of the available honours. This interview heavy episode dives deep into the riders’ thoughts on the race, so tune in for the full 1 hour and 40 minutes.
Apologies for the squawking of Paul Valstar in the background. Our interview location needs to be further from the finish line in future.
