Daryl Impey finished in a front group of 16 riders on stage six of the Tour de France to move into the race lead. The South African becomes the first African to wear the Tour's yellow jersey. Simon Gerrans led out Matt Goss for the sprint and conceded five seconds to Impey when the bunch split before the line.
"Simon came to me yesterday afternoon and asked if it was okay for him to pass the jersey along to Daryl," said Sport Director Matt White. "I said it was fine. They're great mates.
