KING AND QUEEN ARE CROWNED

DARYL Impey and Ashleigh MoolmanPasio confirmed their status as the king and queen of South African road cycling winning the national titles in Pretoria over the weekend.

Moolman-Pasio won her fifth national road race title with Impey winning his second while he also clinched his eighth individual time trial on Friday.

She produced an excellent solo ride in the road race on Saturday in the Capital City finishing nearly two minutes ahead of nearest rival Juanita Venter with a time of 4:01:40.

Venter crossed in second place with a time of 4:03:31 with Joanna van de Winkel finishing third in 4:04:41.

But the championships belonged to Impey, who is in excellent form adding the two titles to his back-to-back victory at the Tour Down Under from last month.

“I’m really happy to pull off number eight,” the Mitchelton-SCOTT rider said.
