Career

After riding for the South African team Barloworld in 2008 and 2009, in 2010 Impey joined Team RadioShack.[7] 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.[8] After riding for MTN–Qhubeka and Team NetApp in 2011, Impey joined GreenEDGE for the squad's inaugural season in 2012.[2] 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.[9] In 2013, he became the first South African ever to lead the Tour de France.[10]
In July 2014 Impey announced that he had tested positive for the banned substance Probenecid at the South African road championships in February, though he denied any wrongdoing.[11] Impey was subsequently cleared of the doping charges at a hearing in August 2014, which accepted his explanation that the Probenecid had entered his system after ingesting contaminated gel capsules he had bought at a pharmacist.[12] Upon his return, he won the Tour of Alberta by a single second thanks to his victory in the last stage, which gave him enough bonus seconds to overtake Tom Dumoulin.[13] Impey confirmed his good form a couple of days later by taking the fourth place on the Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec.[14]
In 2015, Impey had to abandon the Tour de France after being involved in a massive crash on the third stage.[15] He was named in the start list for the 2015 Vuelta a España.[16]
