The <entity_4>, full name Absa <entity_4>, is an annual mountain bike <entity_3> held in the <entity_1>, <entity_2>. The Absa <entity_4> was described by Bart Brentjens, 1996 Olympic gold medallist in <entity_0> and a former Absa <entity_4> winner, as the "Tour de France of <entity_0>". Kevin Vermaak, founded the Absa <entity_4> in <entity_6> at a time when there were no similar events in <entity_2> and the sport of <entity_0> was in its infancy in the country. Today the Absa <entity_4> is routinely referred to as "the Tour de France of <entity_0>". The growth of the Absa <entity_4> has been paralleled by an explosion in <entity_0> in <entity_2> and there are now more than 50 stage races. By February 2003 he was back in <entity_2> after eight years in London to establish the <entity_4>. The route starts and finishes in the <entity_1>, <entity_2>. The holding company of the Absa <entity_4> brand is named <entity_4> Pty Ltd and this events team is responsible for all that is required for a full service mountain bike <entity_3>, including route design, logistics, planning and implementation. The goal of the Exxaro Academy is to introduce the <entity_0> experience to historically disadvantaged communities and individuals, and ultimately assist to transform the sport in <entity_2>. Riding with Kevin Evans, he had finished second in the 2012 Absa <entity_4> which took place in <entity_5> and the result therefore stood. There are four riders who have completed all 16 editions of the Absa <entity_4>, with only one woman on that exclusive list, Hannele Steyn of <entity_2>.
