In a stunning display of determination, the Banners faced adversity head-on during the 46th Cape Town Cycle Tour.
91-year-old Stewart, the family patriarch, endured a terrifying fall on Misty Cliffs, leaving him momentarily motionless.
Despite the shock and bloodshed, medics were astounded to find Stewart's vital signs unscathed.

As Stewart prepares to tackle his 17th race next year, his unwavering determination serves as an inspiring reminder that obstacles are merely stepping stones on the path to victory.
"He'll be going for this 17th, I'm absolutely certain."
