Impey claims seventh South African time trial titleTour Down Under winner Daryl Impey continued his run of good form, taking out a record seventh national championship time trial title at the South African championships in Oudtshoorn on Wednesday.
Impey topped Dimension Data's Ryan Gibbons by 2:17 over the 43.8km course, with the third-place finisher Rohan de Ploy a distant 6:49 behind. The region was in the midst of a heat wave, with temperatures soaring over 36°C, taxing even those acclimated to hot weather. Fortunately, cooler weather is due for Saturday's road races, which Impey hopes to finally claim for the first time in his career. "The road race is something I have never won, so there is always pressure from myself to try and win. It is important to try and win it eventually, but it is hard. I know the odds are stacked against me with all the teams and their numbers. "I am hoping to carry some form from Down Under and hopefully do something special on Saturday, we will see, it is always difficult to say what will happen."
