Daryl Impey to ride with Chris Froome at the Israel Start-Up Nation team in 2021
Kevin McCallumOn July 8 during the eighth stage of the 2013 Tour de France, on the road from Castres to the finish at the A3 Domaines ski station, Chris Froome rode alongside his friend Daryl Impey for a spell.
Just more than seven years later, it was announced this week Impey would joining Froome at the Israel Start-Up Nation team in 2021. Impey will be part of the team’s leadership group with an emphasis on assisting Froome in the 2021 Tour de France, possibly as road captain. Indeed, Mitchelton-Scott value Impey so much they had been hoping he would sign a contract extension with them. Indeed, there are reports from inside the team that they had still been holding on to the chance Impey would not leave.
“The most crucial reason is the challenge that is waiting for me at ISN. After speaking with ICA co-owner Sylvan Adams and the team’s management, I got the sense they see other aspects of me as a bike rider. Froome, who was teammates with Impey at the SA-sponsored Barloworld outfit from 2008 to 2009, was the driving force behind Impey moving to Team ISN.
