Daryl Impey

Daryl Impey is a South African former professional road cyclist who competed from 2008 to 2023. An all-rounder, he generally comes to the fore on tough uphill sprints. He is a two-time winner of the Tour Down Under and the only rider to have won it in consecutive years, in 2018 and 2019. He won the South African national road race championship twice and the national time trial championship nine times, including eight in a row from 2013 to 2020. In 2013 he became the first African rider to wear the yellow jersey at the Tour de France, holding it for two days, and six years later he won his first individual stage there, the ninth stage in Brioude.
