Impey no stranger to Soutpansberg region South African cyclist Daryl Impey made history last week when he became the first African to wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France cycle race. This world-class cyclist also has a local connection. In 2006, he won the Kremetart cycle race in a time of just over 4 hours and 16 minutes. The 27-year-old cyclist from Johannesburg made the whole nation proud when he wore the prestigious yellow jersey for two days last week. The Tour de France is the world’s biggest cycling event and one of the biggest sporting events internationally. It stretches over three weeks and attracts the top professional teams from across the globe. When Impey won the Kremetart race in 2006, he was already an experienced rider. In 2002, at the age of 16, he represented South Africa at the World Junior Championships and had a glimpse of the world of professional cycling. He decided that this was what he wanted to do for a living and started training harder to make his dreams come true. He signed his first professional contract in 2003 and became part of the Microsoft Cycling team. During the next two years he won titles in South Africa and in places like China. Still as a junior, in 2004, he took part in his first Kremetart and surprised the more experienced riders by winning the first stage of this tough race. He also caught the attention of a French amateur team by the name of Velo Club la Pomme-Marseille and soon afterwards decided to make
the jump to Europe. Impey admits that he quickly found out that the world of a professional cyclist is very difficult, especially if you compete abroad. He had to learn a new language and things did not always go the way he wanted. When he returned to South Africa, he signed up with the Microsoft team and things started to go a lot better. That same year, he competed in his second Kremetart 175km stage race. He secured victory by a mere four seconds, narrowly beating a strong challenge from Hanco Kachelhoffer from the Konica Minolta team. “I had a great season in 2006 and had seven victories, which gave me the confidence I needed and I started to set my mind on Europe again. I set another goal, with a new team MTN-Microsoft and 2007 would be the season that I would need to do well and no more excuses. Time was running out and I wasn’t getting any younger. I wanted to prove that I could race in Europe and I needed the results to get teams to look at me,” Impey writes on his website. (www.darylimpey.com) In the following years, Impey had victories in numerous races on the international pro circuit. This included a stage victory in the Herald Sun Tour in Australia in 2008. In 2009, he won the Tour of Turkey race and also ended second in the SA Road Championships. During this time, he rode for the well-known SA team, Barloworld, which included another famous local racer, Robbie Hunter. Impey’s tenacity paid off in 2011 when he had a stage win in the Tour de Moroc and won the SA Elite Time Trial championships. His first taste of the Tour de France was in 2012 and he managed a fifth place in Stage 13. The same year, he also represented his country at the Olympic Games. The year 2013 turned out to be a bumper year for Impey. He was the South African National Time Trial champion once again and he caught the eye of an Australian team, Orica-GreenEDGE. Impey was selected mostly because he is an excellent team rider and works very hard to get the sprinters in his team to the finish line. His skills paid off and he managed to take his team-mate, Simon Gerrans, to victory in Stage 3. The team also won the time trial on Day 4 of the race.
Permit Application Public notice for event: GlytolxTwinlink Bayer CropScience AG has submitted an application to the Registrar: Genetically Modified Organisms Act for the intentional introduction of a genetically modified organism into the environment of South Africa. This application is for continued field trial studies initiated in 2008. The genetically modified organism under study is the cotton species Gossypium hirsutum (Upland cotton), derived from the conventional cross of transformation event GHB614, named “Glytol”, and the stacked cotton “TwinLink”. Event GHB614 introduced a single copy of the 2mepsps gene from Zea mays. TwinLink cotton is derived from the conventional cross between events GHB119 and T304-40. Event GHB119 contains single copies of the bar gene from Streptomyces hygroscopicus and the cry2Ae gene from Bacillus thuringiensis. Event T304-40 introduced single copies of the bar gene from Streptomyces hygroscopicus and the cry1Ab gene from Bacillus thuringiensis. The 2mepsps and bar genes provide tolerance to herbicides with the active ingredients glyphosate and glufosinate-ammonium, respectively. The cry1Ab and cry2Ae genes provide resistance to lepidopteran insects. The 2mepsps gene has been used as a selectable marker in the development of the stacked cotton. The objective of this release is to continue an agronomic assessment of Glytol x TwinLink in the South African cotton producing environment. This application is not for the production of food or feed products. The current application is for release on multi-trial sites on farmlands in the Limpopo province near the town of Musina. The sites have been used for the production of irrigated summer and winter crops for almost 30 years. The proposed trial will not exceed 2 hectares where a minimum isolation distance of 300 m from other cotton varieties will be maintained. At the completion of the trial, all cotton plants will be harvested and the seed processed at a gin. Seeds from Glytol x TwinLink plants will be exported to the USA for further research and development. All remaining seed will be destroyed by mechanical crushing, and all remaining trial plant material will be destroyed at the trial site by slashing. The trial site will either be left fallow or planted with a different crop. The field will be monitored for the emergence of volunteer cotton. In accordance with Regulation 6 of the Genetically Modified Organisms Act (Act No. 15 of 1997), the public is hereby invited to submit comments with regard to this application to the Registrar at the following address: Registrar: Genetically Modified Organisms Act Private Bag X973 Pretoria, 0001 Fax 012 319 6329 All comments should be submitted to The Registrar within 30 days of this notification. Bayer (Pty) Ltd., (Bayer CropScience Division), P.O. Box 143, Isando 1600, South Africa.
