Impey surges to stunning silver in road race
By GARY LEMKE in Birmingham
Daryl Impey missed out on this year’s Tour de France due to Covid-19 but the 37-year-old showed no lingering effects of the illness as he sprinted to the silver medal in a thrilling men’s road race.
The vastly experienced South African followed New Zealand’s Aaron Gate over the line in 3hr 28min 29sec after a cat-and-mouse affair over the 160km route, and a race in which pre-race favourite Mark Cavendish was trapped early in the peloton and lost contact with the front groups as the lead regularly changed hands.

The emergence of Lize-Ann Louw, from a crop of talented Under 23s, is the primary threat to the established favourites...
