Daryl Impey (born 6 December 1984 in Johannesburg) is a South African professional road cyclist riding for UCI ProTeam Orica-GreenEDGE.[2] He rode in 2010 for Team RadioShack.[3] His best win to date has been the 2009 Tour of Turkey, despite a controversial incident where he was pushed into the barriers by Theo Bos.[4]
Impey had originally signed for 2011 with the Australian team called Pegasus, but was forced to seek employment elsewhere after that team failed to secure a UCI license.[5] After riding for MTN Qhubeka and Team NetApp in 2011, Impey joined GreenEDGE for the squad's inaugural season in 2012.[1] He won a stage of the Tour of the Basque Country in April of that year, before making his Grand Tour debut at the Giro d'Italia in May.[6] In 2013, he became the first South African leader of Tour de France.[7]
