Throwback to March 2013 – Roy Khumpha, Stage Six Pack, and a warrior’s ride
He didn’t win the stage. But he finished 14th overall in that stage, and more importantly, he finished with the kind of grit that makes you remember a number and a name years later.
For those who don’t remember: the Six Pack was a brutal, multi-day test of endurance across the South African countryside. Dust, wind, unforgiving climbs, and the kind of heat that makes asphalt sweat. By Stage Six, the field was broken. Legs were gone. Minds were fighting harder than muscles.
