The veteran trio of Michael Hepburn, Chris Jurgensen and Lawson Craddock will join the team Jayco-Jensen for next season, with the US men's elite time trial champion Hepburn and Jurgensen confirmed in the new two-year contract and signed for another year. It is set to return to AlUla.

A contract up to 2025 for Hepburn will make him one of Jayco・AlUla's longest-serving riders, as he and fellow Australian Luke Darbridge have been on the world tour team since the beginning of 2012.1

"These riders are part of the foundation of our team and all important engine rooms. They each have a very diverse role and can always get the job done," said Team General Manager Brent Copeland Mede "They know what they need to do and bring a lot of experience to the team, so it's important to keep them and continue this journey together."

The 2024 season will be Hepburn's 13th season on the World Tour, he also conducted a two-season race with team Jacoskin as a teenager, won the Australian U23 Road Race Championship 2010, and the next season will be the Junior Time Trial World Cup. He won a bronze medal in the Lund Championship.

"It's no secret that I'm at home with this team and I look forward to continuing that relationship. There are incredible people in this organization and we are very proud to be part of the team's history. I've grown a lot here and it was really special to see the team evolve over the years," the 32-year-old Australian told the team Pressley

Hepburn, a multi-talented rider, has been on 12 grand tours and this season has won the Tirreno Adriatic Title. It was 4th place in the world. He functions in several roles and is an asset of the Sprint train of the Powerhouse Sprinter. Dylan Groenewegen agreed to continue for another 2 years, achieving fastman Caleb Ewan and returning to the Australian squad in 2024.

Like Hepburn, Craddock has a long professional career on the road back in 2011-2013 with Trek-Livestrong, Bontrager, development team. The 31-year-old from Texas is known for his reliable engine, which can deliver results in time trials and climbs. Craddock won bronze in the Junior Time Trial at the 2010 World Championships, finishing in the U23 Race (2013) at No. 5 and the Elite Rider (2019) at No. 6.

In 2019, Craddock landed on the podium at the Vuelta a España and Larry H. Miller Utah tour. This past summer he finished 15th in Stage 4 from the Tour de France to Saint・Gervais Mont Blanc.

"I feel like I've found a new lease in my career after joining the team in 2022.I am very grateful to Gerry Ryan and Brent Copeland for giving me the opportunity to join the team quite late in my career," he said, looking ahead to his 3rd year at Jayco-AlUla.

"I feel like I really fit in well among everyone and I'm very honored that the team trusted me, to keep me on board, I look forward to making some better memories in the future.

Juul-Jensen has been in the GreenEdge program since 2016, during which he has ridden 14 of the 12 grand tours. The stage winner of the Tour de Switzerland 2018, the 34-year-old Dane is a valuable support rider in stage races and one-day classics.

"I am lucky enough to enjoy eight great years in GreenEdge Cycling and say it all really to continue for another two years, I love it here the old and the new." I couldn't imagine myself being happy and hungry for success somewhere else," Juul-Jensen said.

The similarity with the trio is that each has won at least 1 time trial championship in their home country over the years.Craddock won in the United States as a junior (2010), 2 times as an Elite rider (2021 and 2022), Hepburn won in Australia as a U23, Elite Rider (2010 and 2015, respectively), and Jules Jensen won in Denmark in 2015. We have won the championship.

With their signature confirmation, the Jayco-AlUla roster for 2024 will be 28.
