Daryl Impey has received offers from both Mitchelton Scott and Israel Cycling Startup Nation, with both teams looking to secure his services beyond 2021.

South African-born Impey's contract expires at the end of this season, and he is aiming to compete in the Tour de France later this year while serving as road captain for Mitchelton Scott. However, with Chris Froome leaving Team Ineos at the end of the season and signing a five-year contract with Israeli startup Nation, the team is looking for an experienced rider to help Froome in his quest for a fifth Tour de France title in 2021.

Richie Porte was initially approached by Israel Startup Nation as they looked to improve their climbing unit, but the Australian veteran's contract with Trek-Segafredo has expired and he is now on Dave Brailsford's Ineos to take on the role of superdomestique in the team is rumored. Trek is keeping a close eye on the situation, but is waiting until racing resumes to see if it will extend Porte's contract. Porte, a native of Australia, was with Ineos (then Team Sky) for several years and trained under Froome before later joining BMC Racing.

Israel Startup Nation has signed a number of others, including Jasper Stuyven, who recently confirmed that he will remain with Trek-Segafredo for the next few years.

Impy, 35, has been with the company since 2012, when Mitchelton Scott launched it as Orica GreenEdge. He has played a key role in their success, becoming the first South African to wear the maillot jaune at the 2013 Tour de France. Last season he won a stage at the Tour and twice at the Tour Down Under, but it is his skills as a road captain that interest Froome and the Israeli Startup Nation.

When Mitchelton Scott's future looked uncertain a few weeks ago, a move seemed very likely, but Jerry Ryan has stepped up to guarantee the team's future as it continues its search for more partners. The team's management was able to put together a package that could potentially allow Impy to spend his entire career with the team.

Cyclingnews understands that Impey is torn about this decision. A move to Flume would bring him a new challenge and a reunion with an old friend. The South African rider has yet to make a decision and has not been available to Cyclingnews for an interview.
