The Outcast Riders are UCI Pro-Elite Riders, whose partners give up or been removed from the Cape Epic. From 2010 until 2017 these riders worn the Outcast jersey, since the 2018 Cape Epic they wear the Leopard jersey.[1]
Kashi Leuchs lost his partner at the 2009 Cape Epic. He suggested the idea of the Outcast riders.
The organizers thought it's a great idea and implemented the new modus at the 2010 version.[2]
