Daryl Impey conferma il abituale ottimo stato di forma australianoe conquista la vittoria nella quarta tappa del Tour Down Under. A Campbelltown il sudafricano della Mitchelton Scott ha preceduto Patrick Bevin, che ha difeso alla grande la sua maglia di leader della corsa, e Luis Leon Sanchez, con Diego Ulissi (settimo) e Domenico Pozzovivo (quindicesimo) che hanno chiuso nel gruppetto di venti che si è giocato il successo finale.

La salita di Corkscrew, punto nodale della tappa, non ha deluso le attse con Michael Woods (EF Education First), Richie Porte (Trek Segafredo), Wout Poels (Team Sky) e George Bennett (Jumbo Visma)  che hanno scollinato con un vantaggio di 15 secondi su un gruppo ridotto di inseguitori. Ed è stato proprio Impey, con i compagni di squadra, a guidare l’inseguimento per andare poi a prendersi la vittoria in volata.

Per Impey, che l’anno scorso ha conquistato il Tour Down Under, si tratta della prima vittoria di tappa (dopo sei podi) nella corsa australiana.

«Un mio amico è scomparso recentemente a causa di un attacco di cuore - ha spiegato Impey dopo la premiazione -. Sono partito dal Sudafrica con l’animo triste, è stato un periodo piuttosto difficile per tutta la nostra famiglia: quando sono arrivato qui volevo fare qualcosa di speciale e oggi ci sono riuscito. E adesso guardo con fiducia alla tappa di domani a Willunga anche se Bevin ha una bella gamba. Noi proveremo ad essere aggressivi lungo tutta la tappa e a ribaltare la classifica, ma sappiamo che non saremo gli unici a farlo».
