Orica-BikeExchange have signed a three-year deal with Daryl Impey that will take the 31-year-old South African through the 2019 season.
Impey, who has ridden with the team since 2012, became the first African to lead the Tour de France when he wore the yellow jersey for two days in 2013.
Most recently, Impey was part of the Orica-BikeExchange roster that finished third ninth in the UCI Road World Championships team time trial on October 9. He has 14 wins in his career, including the overall victories at the Tour of Turkey in 2009 and at the Tour of Alberta in 2014.

“This team is where my career took off, and I feel really at home with everything here," Impey said in a statement released by the team.
"It's been a fantastic run these last five seasons, and I'm happy to continue to be part of it. To me, there is a unique feeling on this team and that's what makes the difference."
Orica-BikeExchange director Matt White referred to Impey as an important "backbone" of the Australian team.
