Poll Results: More Than 50% of Farmers Don't Plan to Sell Their Old Crop Corn Before Harvest

As harvest approaches, and low commodity prices persist, a recent AgWeb survey shows farmers still have an abnormally high percentage of old crop corn and soybeans to sell.

USDA’s June Grain Stocks Report also found on-farm corn stocks were up 36.5% versus the previous season to more than 3 million bushels, which is the highest level since 1988.

Arkansas farmer Becton Bell says he could harvest one of his best crops ever, but marketing the crop will come at a loss.

When asked his biggest challenge this year, he says it's been the markets.

“There just hasn't been a good marketing opportunity," he says. "It's kind of like catching a falling knife, trying to market soybeans and corn. Nobody wants to catch that falling knife.”

How much old crop do farmers across the U.S. still have left to sell. Based on a recent AgWeb survey , farmers reported the following:

• 83%, or 1,111, still have zero to 25% in storage
• 10%, or 139, still have 26% to 50% in storage
• 4%, or 52, still have 51% to 75% in storage
• 3%, or 36, still have 76% to 100% in storage
• 89%, or 1,189, still have zero to 25% in storage
• 7%, or 94, still have 26% to 50% in storage
• 2%, or 28, still have 51% to 75% in storage
• 2%, or 27, still have 76% to 100% in storage

As of late August, farmers are trying to sell their old crop to make room for the new crop they're gearing up to harvest.

According to the AgWeb survey, 52% of farmers say they don't plan to sell their old crop corn before harvest, and 60% say they're holding on to their old crop soybeans.

Reaction and Analysis

The latest survey is proof farmers have moved some of their old crop corn and soybeans ahead of harvest, but market analysts and economists say this is still historically high.

"If the survey had been done a month earlier, the results likely would have been more skewed to the 26% to 50%, rather than zero to 25%. No one can deny the most recent price break to below $4 in corn and $10.50 in soybeans caused a large capitulation by farmers waiting for a rebound in prices," says Peter Meyer of Muddy Boots Ag. "Whether it was of their own volition, concerns over storage space with harvest approaching or prompting by relevant lenders, the recent sell-off was exacerbated by the number of old crop bushels in storage. Over the past 10 to 12 years, an explosion of sorts in bin space has materialized to take the 'carry trade' away from commercial buyers. Unfortunately, that storage asset turned into a liability in 2024."

"The zero to 25% is a big number, but I do think farmers have cleaned a lot up," adds Arlan Suderman, chief commodities economist with StoneX Group. "That's been reflected in the market as we have seen funds unwinding short positions without much of an increase in prices. That's an indication of the hand-off and exchange we're seeing of ownership from the farmer to the funds as they unwind their positions."

The fact that 10% of farmers say they still have 25% to 50% of their old crop corn sitting in the bin is a result of commodity prices taking such a quick turn, says Darren Frye of Water Street Solutions, which left farmers with the difficult decision of selling in a falling market.

"You go back to last June, a year ago June, and that rally happened quickly. The break off, the highs, happened quickly and a lot of people just didn't get a chance to sell a lot of the old crop, which was new crop then, or the new crop of '24," Frye says. "If you take a look at what has happened since then, we've never gotten back above the spring based price, and that's unusual."

With ideal weather, and the failed forecasts of a hotter- than-normal summer, Frye says the markets continued to see price pressure.

For Meyer, he says holding onto old crop heading into harvest is an emotional decision.

"Certainly, we expect prices to stabilize at current levels but we are hard-pressed to find a catalyst for a substantial price rally, absent of a weather issue in South America come fall. Even then, supply rallies have proven fleeting, a trend we expect to continue," Meyer explains. "Liquidity will become critical after harvest when lender meetings occur. It may hurt to raise the white flag at this point, but holding onto a non-performing asset will likely lead to a worse outcome."

Donald Trump posts fake Taylor Swift endorsement, Swifties for Trump AI images

Former President Donald Trump is trying to get the attention of Swifties.

On Sunday, Trump took to his social media platform Truth Social and posted several suspected artificial intelligence-generated images alluding to Taylor Swift and Swifties' support for his campaign, despite the singer vocalizing disdain for the Republican nominee in the past .

"Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump," reads one generated image of Swift as Uncle Sam, while another seemingly AI image, marked as satire, reads, "Swifties turning to Trump after ISIS foiled Taylor Swift concert." The image references a suspected terrorist plot  planned for Swift's Vienna concert earlier this month. Austrian authorities, with help from U.S. officials , thwarted the attack.

The pictures include a mix of real and AI images, including of Swifties for Trump supporters, akin to the real group MAGA Swifties .

Does Taylor Swift support Kamala Harris? A look at her political history, new Easter eggs

Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle.

USA TODAY has reached out to Swift's rep for comment.

Though stopping short of endorsing a candidate in the 2024 election as of yet, Swift has increasingly vocalized her political views in recent years.

In her 2020 Netflix documentary, "Miss Americana," the singer gave insight into her political beliefs and endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Phil Bredesen, D-Tenn., in the 2018 midterm elections. Her publicist Tree Paine warned her about Trump coming after her, and Swift quipped, "I don't care. If I get bad press for saying, 'Don't put a homophobic racist in office,' then I get bad press for that."

The beats go on: Trump keeps dancing as artists get outraged over his use of their songs

The singer kicked the hinges off her political closet door and unequivocally spoke against Bredesen's opponent Marsha Blackburn, calling her "Trump in a wig." Swift posted on Instagram a photo of her and her mom, Andrea Swift,  in front of a Bredesen sign  with the caption: "These two Tennessee women voted for the candidate who has proven himself to be reasonable and trustworthy."

When the news broke of her support for Bredesen, Trump said he "liked Swift's music about 25% less now." Blackburn ultimately won the Senate seat.

See the full field of 50 golfers advancing to the 2024 BMW Championship at Castle Pines

It's the second leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, and there's now just 50 golfers still alive in the PGA Tour's 2024 season.

The were 70 Tour pros who made the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis to kick off the postseason and a few big names failed to advance to the next round.

Castle Pines Golf Club in Castle Rock, Colorado, about 27 miles south of Denver, is hosting the PGA Tour for the first time since the 2006 International. Jason Day is the lone golfer in the 2024 BMW field who competed in that 2006 event.

Among the biggest movers up Sunday:

• Viktor Hovland (up 41 spots to No. 16)
• Sam Burns (up 11 to No. 18)
• Denny McCarthy (up 15 to No. 30)
• Will Zalatoris (up 12 to No. 37)
• Eric Cole (up 8 to No. 46)
• Nick Dunlap (up 19 to No. 48)

Hovland, Cole and Dunlap were the three to come from outside the top 50 when the week started to make the field next week.

On the flip side, that meant three golfers slid out and there were Tom Kim (down 8 to No. 51), Mackenzie Hughes (down 4 to No. 52) and Jake Knapp (down 9 to No. 59).

The total purse for the BMW will be $20 million with $4 million going to the winner. It's the last tournament of the season that offers official prize money. The Tour Championship at East Lake doles out what the Tour considers "bonus" money.

Here's the 50 golfers advancing to the 2024 BMW Championship, including the U.S. Ryder Cup captain for 2025 who made it in right on the number:

Here's a closer look at some of those who just missed out:

Our super-handy guide to all the 59s in PGA Tour (and pro golf) history

With improvements in equipment, analytics and fitness, the sub-60 score has become a more common occurrence in the past decade-plus. But 59 remains a magic number, and feat rare enough that those who have done it on the PGA Tour can claim to be part of a club more select than those who have walked on the moon. At the very least, it’s just about the only thing the likes of Paul Goydos and Chip Beck can brag about to Tiger Woods. Although, we're guessing they'd never actually do that.

Of course, not all 59s are equal. And for that reason, as we celebrate the 59th day of 2022 by honoring golf's most spell-binding number, we’ve broken them down into various categories. We've kept this to the PGA Tour, European Tour and LPGA Tour. Only the best of the best. Although, shout-out to Alejandro del Rey for firing a 14-under 58(!) at the Challenge Tour’s Swiss Challenge in 2021. Anyway, here’s our rundown.

The OG 59: Al Geiberger

Or maybe it should be the “AG” 59 for Al Geiberger, who became the first player to post this magic number in the second round of the 1977 Danny Thomas Memphis Classic. And how dare they ask what my lowest round is! That's a HIPAA violation! Seriously, though, Geiberger deserves a lot of credit for being the first to pull it off. And it came on a par 72 to boot, at Colonial Country Club in Memphis. The major champ and 11-time PGA Tour winner also signs autographs still with "Mr. 59." What a legend.

The best 59: Jim Furyk

Sam Greenwood

Jim Furyk at 2013 BMW Championship. Furyk beat the field by 12.1 shots during that second round. He could have spotted Patrick Reed a shot per hole that day … and still won. In fact, it was the best score of the day by six shots—matching Geiberger for the biggest differential. Unfortunately for Furyk, he didn’t win the tournament, finishing T-3. But this wouldn’t be the last we’d hear of him going really, really low. And we know what you’re thinking. Yes, this 59 was even better than …

The 59 that was actually a 58: Jim Furyk

Getty Images

Furyk flexed on everyone at the 2016 Travelers Championship, when he didn’t just break 60, he broke golf’s magic number. “Oh, you think 59 is cool? That’s cute. Here’s a 58! Bam!” Now I’m paraphrasing, but that’s basically what Furyk said on his way to shooting a final-round 58 at TPC River Highlands. “Call me Mr. 58!” Furyk screamed after sinking his final putt. Again, I’m paraphrasing. But he really does deserve to be called that. Furyk remains the only player to shoot two sub-60s. He also remains the only player to shoot two sub-60s and not win either time. But don’t call him that. Mr. 58 sounds much cooler.

The “Ms. 59” 59: Annika Sorenstam

Scott Halleran/Getty Images

With all due respect to the guys, Sorenstam is the greatest golfer to ever break 60 on a major tour. And she remains the only player to do it on the LPGA Tour. Sorenstam’s 59 came in the second round of the 2001 Standard Register Ping when she was the low lady of the day by five shots and shot 10.4 strokes better than the field average. She would wear a hat with the nickname “Ms. 59” embroidered on it shortly after. What a boss. Sorenstam would go on to win that week. Of course, back then she basically won every week.

The most dramatic 59 we could kind of see coming: David Duval

Double D was on an absolute heater when he arrived in Palm Springs in 1999. He’d already won his previous start at Kapalua and he was in the midst of a stretch in which he’d win six of 14 starts and move to No. 1 in the world. Still, a 59 in the final round—and this was when the event was still five rounds!—capped by an eagle on the last hole to win the tournament is pretty darn dramatic.

Even the mild-mannered Duval got fired up for that. With whatever that celebration was.

The most dramatic 59 we definitely didn’t see coming: Stuart Appleby

Scott Halleran

Another walk-off 59! Appleby was an eight-time PGA Tour winner, but had gone more than four years without winning when he arrived at the inaugural Greenbrier Classic in 2010. And he still trailed by seven shots entering Sunday, but an eagle and nine birdies, including an 11-footer on the last, gave the 39-year-old the final win of his PGA Tour career. Look at how he even walked that final putt in like Kevin Na! Amazing. So Stu wins for "the most badass cool finish 59" as well.

MORE: This is it, this is the greatest 59 celebration in golf history

The most random 59 ever: Kevin Chappell

Jared C. Tilton

This could also be characterized as the most heroic 59. After all, Chappell was making his return to the PGA Tour 10 months after announcing he would undergo microdiscectomy surgery. But in his first start back on a major medical extension, he looked better than ever at the Greenbrier in 2019. He tied a tour record with nine consecutive birdies and shot 59 in the second round. The magic, unfortunately for the former NCAA champion at UCLA, went away quickly. Chappell shot rounds of 73 and 72 over the weekend to finish T-47. And sadly, he hasn’t been heard from much since.

The most random 59 on foreign soil: Oliver Fisher

Warren Little/Getty Images

Fisher arrived at the 2018 Portugal Masters ranked 287th in the world. He left as the first player in European Tour history to shoot 59. Amazingly, the tour had produced 19 60s before, but never a 59. And, technically, it won’t ever again since it’s now the DP World Tour. Anyway, Fisher didn’t win that week. In fact, he barely finished in the top 10, but he’ll always have that piece of history.

The most predictable 59: Justin Thomas

Coming off a pair of wins in which he shot a combined 45 under par, including the previous week in Hawaii, Thomas stayed hot in the first round of the 2017 Sony Open. It seemed like a foregone conclusion he’d roll in his eagle putt on the final hole, and he did to become the youngest player to break 60. Well, on the PGA Tour, that is. Ryo Ishikawa shot 58 on the Japan Tour when he was 18. At 23, JT was practically a middle-aged man by comparison. Still, it was impressive. As was Thomas winning wire-to-wire that week. Oh, and we're pretty sure he has bragged to Tiger about it.

The most, um, Canadian 59: Adam Hadwin

This one goes to Hadwin, because, well, he’s the only Canadian on the list and we couldn’t think of anything else to say. But Hadwin certainly had things going during the third round of the 2017 CareerBuilder Challenge, making 13 birdies on the par-72 La Quinta CC layout. The downside: He couldn’t break 70 the next day and he finished runner-up. Still, not a bad week, eh ? Sorry, Adam. We'll think of something better next time.

The most workmanlike 59: Chip Beck

PGA TOUR Archive

Beck is best known for laying up at the 1993 Masters—a decision that wound up being the genesis of the movie “Tin Cup”! —but he was firing at flags all day during the third round of the 1991 Las Vegas Invitational. Beck didn’t have any eagles, but rather racked up 13 birdies on his clean card to become the second player to shoot 59, 14 years after Geiberger. Like that 1993 Masters, though, Beck came up short here as well. However, there was not a movie made about his T-3 finish.

The best way-to-stick-with-it 59: Brandt Snedeker

Kevin C. Cox

Snedeker is not the only golfer to shoot 59 with a bogey on his card, but he is the only one to pull it off after beginning his round with a bogey. In fact, Sneds started his tournament with a bogey on No. 10 at Sedgefield Country Club at the 2018 Wyndham Championship and didn’t really turn it on until he got to the front nine. There, he shot an eight-under-par 27, including a birdie on his final hole, to get to 59. He went on to a wire-to-wire win. Well, if you don’t count that opening bogey. Don’t ever give up, kids. Don’t ever give up.

The least impressive 59s: Paul Goydos and Scottie Scheffler

Darren Carroll/Getty Images

Look, no matter how you look at it, shooting a 59 is impressive. Obviously. Heck, most weekend hacks would take that for nine holes. HOWEVAH, the days Goydos and Scheffler went really low, well, just about everyone was going really low. Both Goydos at the 2010 John Deere Classic and Scheffler at the 2021 Northern Trust only led by one shot despite opening those respective tournaments with a 59.

Steve Stricker nearly matched Goydos, and we’re still stunned Dustin Johnson didn’t do even better than Scheffler considering he was 11 under through 11 holes at TPC Boston that day. Making us even forget the early heroics of Goydos and Scheffler even more? Stricker and Johnson wound up winning those tournaments. But, again, they—and the rest of this group—can always say they've done something that Tiger, Jack, Hogan, Arnie, etc. have never done. Take that, legends.

Joe Durant remembers 1998 BMW Championship win outside Chicago

Change Text Size

Editor’s note: Joe Durant turned pro in 1987 soon after graduating from Alabama’s Huntingdon College, where he was a three-time NAIA All-American and 1987 NAIA individual champion. He toiled on the min-tour circuit for many years, eventually earning 1992 T.C. Jordan Tour Player of the Year following his three-win season. Durant has won on every level he’s played – mini-tours, Korn Ferry Tour, PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR Champions, his fifth win coming in March at the Cologuard Classic. Durant remembers well his initial PGA TOUR title, the 1998 BMW Championship at Cog Hill outside Chicago, and what transpired with a certain champion’s trophy.

When I won the 1998 BMW Championship (then Motorola Western Open) at Cog Hill Golf and Country Club, the victory certainly gave me a feeling of, “OK, I’ve arrived.” It was my first TOUR win, and I felt like it validated my position as a TOUR player, proving that while I may not have been the best in the game, I was the best that week.

But a month later, I still hadn’t received my trophy in the mail from the Western Golf Association. I had never won a tournament before, so I didn’t know how long it typically took. When I called then-Tournament Director Greg McLaughlin, he told me the person who typically handles the trophy and the preparing of the winner’s nameplate had been ill, and that delayed things.

Well, another month went by and still no trophy. One day, after just finishing my season at the old National Car Rental Disney tournament in Orlando, I traveled back home, and what was waiting on my front porch? A box from the Western Golf Association.

Gee, I wonder what that could be.

I was with my wife, Tracey, and the two of us walked in the front door, me holding the delivery. I quickly opened the box and pulled out the big, glass globe that sat on a wooden base. As I admired it, my wife’s eyes immediately went to the trophy’s base.

“Isn’t this really cool?” I asked.

“They spelled your name wrong,” she casually said.

What I’m now about to write is a recap of how, ahem, Joe “Dumont” won the 1998 BMW Championship.

After opening scores of 68-67 in late June at Cog Hill, I was the 36-hole leader, a stroke ahead of Vijay Singh and two clear of Greg Kraft and Lee Janzen. A week earlier, Lee had won the U.S. Open at The Olympic Club in San Francisco.

Friday night, I was having dinner with Skip Kendall, who was also playing in the tournament, and John Flannery, a former TOUR player who was now an equipment representative. We were at a small, Italian restaurant not far from the course. A guy at an adjacent table looked at us, took us for golf fans, and asked, “Do you know who’s leading the tournament?”

Skip pointed at me and said, “He is.”

Our fellow diner looked at me and said, “Who’s he?”

The fact this man didn’t know shouldn’t have been surprising. Why would he know? In 1998, it was true then as it is today: I am not a household name.

Friday had already been an interesting day. Because of an overnight storm following Thursday’s opening round, officials delayed the start of the second round for 90 minutes. That meant I finished my day quite late. When I was tidying up my 67, most of the fans had gone home, and the TV cameras were nowhere to be found.

As a longtime resident of the Florida Panhandle, near Pensacola, WEAR, the ABC affiliate in town, had always followed what I did on TOUR. Naturally, for its evening newscast, it wanted to show footage of my good play. It wasn’t every day I was leading a tournament.

Because I didn’t show up during the Friday broadcast window, there were zero highlights of my round. That forced my buddy, sportscaster Dan Shugart, to be a little creative. He and anchor Bob Solarski had an idea. They would draw stick figures of me, imagining what I had done during the second round to get the lead. They did this little cartoon thing of me playing the 16th and 17th holes and then put it on the screen for viewers to see. While I didn’t see it, my stick-figure highlights became a pretty notorious thing in Pensacola, and lots of my friends saw it and loved it.

Saturday, I was in the final pairing of the day, playing with Vijay. Vijay was already a five-time TOUR winner, and two months later he would win his first major title, the PGA Championship. I was pretty nervous, but I was playing well, and although Cog Hill is a very hard course, it didn’t feel nearly as difficult as Olympic. So that was my frame of mind entering the day.

Although I didn’t play poorly Saturday, shooting a 2-under 70, Vijay posted a 7-under 65, giving him a two-stroke lead over Kraft. He was four clear of me, in third. That put me in the second-to-last pairing of the final round, playing with Janzen. That was a very comfortable pairing for me since I’ve known Lee since our college days.

I assume WEAR was able to find Saturday footage of my play, no need to resort to more artwork.

That night, I called home, and my then-7-year-old daughter, Connor, talking about what would take place the next day, gave it to me straight: “Don’t blow it, Dad.”

Kids, right? They never sugarcoat things. But what she said was such an icebreaker because I thought, “Don’t blow it” meant go out, hit your first tee shot in the fairway, makes some putts and win the tournament.

Yeah, don’t blow it, idiot. And I didn’t.

I began the final round hot, making birdies on two of my first three holes. A bogey at No. 4 dropped me back, but I added two birdies going out to post a 3-under 33. Meanwhile, Vijay, playing in the final group, was 1-over on his opening nine. As I played the 10th hole, with Vijay bogeying nine, we were tied. I then took a two-shot lead, with birdies at Nos. 10 and 11. But I bogeyed 12, with Vijay making birdie, and we were tied again. Finally, I got a little breathing room, making a birdie at the par-3 14th, where Vijay bogeyed the hole a few minutes after me. By the time I reached the 17th tee, I was up two, and a birdie there gave me a three-stroke cushion with a hole to play.

With a chance to win my first TOUR title, I bogeyed the 18th hole, which turned out to be meaningless, and I won by a couple.

That victory was as rewarding as anything I’ve ever accomplished in golf. I played so horribly my rookie year and then worked really hard to get back out there, to regain my card. I first got my PGA TOUR card in 1993, and that season I made two cuts in 18 starts and a whopping $4,055 in prize money. I finished 279th on the money list. I played the 1994, 1995 and 1996 seasons on what is now the Korn Ferry Tour, and in 1996, I won once, was a runner-up in another and had two third-place finishes. I closed the year third on the money list, earning a return trip to the PGA TOUR.

A PGA TOUR win two seasons later certainly validated all of my hard work.

After finishing all my post-tournament obligations at Cog Hill, tournament officials told me they would mail my trophy to me. No problem, I thought.

I was in a rush to catch a flight to Cape Cod for a Monday pro-am hosted by Brad Faxon and Billy Andrade. By the time I got on the charter flight, filled with TOUR players going to the same place, everybody was giving me a bad time for making them wait. Can you believe I had the nerve to win, forcing those guys to wait around?

I remember Scott Hoch and Tom Byrum having an especially good time with me. It was really fun.

There was a legitimate concern, though, as the small airport in Massachusetts apparently shut down, with no aircraft able to land after 10 p.m. We cut it close but beat the deadline, and by the time I got to the hotel I was able to call my wife.

It was an emotional call. Very emotional. She was in tears. Tracey had been through the really low lows of my career. For part of the call, she couldn’t even speak. To be able to celebrate a high like that meant a lot to me because Tracey understood what the sweat equity had been in the process. She knew I had quit golf after the 1991 season and got my license to sell insurance. I had also worked for a golf retail equipment company with the glamorous job of filling orders and putting inventory on shelves. Even when I returned to competitive golf, vivid to her were my days on the mini-tours and then me having to go back to the Korn Ferry Tour after getting a taste of the PGA TOUR.

Talking to and celebrating with her was such a satisfying, meaningful phone call.

I know I didn’t sleep a wink that night and just got up and played in the pro-am the next day. Who was my celebrity partner? Boston pitcher Tim Wakefield, the Red Sox observing a break in their schedule. I had never met Tim before, and he was so nice, making a big deal about getting to play with a PGA TOUR winner. Tim and I played in a few other tournaments after that, and we became friends. It was a sad day for me when Tim died a year ago from brain cancer.

The memories of my win at Cog Hill are quite clear and memorable. Along with my title outside Chicago, I also won three additional TOUR events. The PGA TOUR record books indicate I won all four tournaments, but there was a period of time, albeit a brief one, where a certain trophy sitting in Molino, Florida, showed that Joe “Dumont” was the 1998 Motorola Western Open champion.

Mr. “Dumont” had to wait a few more weeks for a replacement nameplate, but when it finally arrived, I have to admit, Joe Durant never looked so good.

AEROTECH TIFIBER 70 & PRO 60

Delivering superior strength, unprecedented stability and the lightweight properties of titanium fiber composite technology, the ultra-premium TiFiber is a game-changer. TiFiber wood shafts are designed for players to attain the highest level of performance and optimize launch angles and spin rates for increased distance and pinpoint accuracy.

TiFiber Tour 70 shafts feature a “Tour Stiff” tip section to optimize flight by reducing spin and lowering trajectory. TiFiber Tour 70 is available in F5 (Stiff) and F6 (X-Stiff) flex options.

TiFiber Pro 60 has a slightly softer tip section and benefits players who need a bit more launch and spin, yet who still want the added stability of titanium. The TiFiber Pro 60 is available in F4 (Regular) and F5 (Stiff) flexes.

“The i70 is available in both Taper tip and parallel tip configurations. All Taper tip models also incorporate a “Constant Weight” feature. Therefore each shaft within the set (regardless of length) weigh the same.

El Tudor Pro Cycling sigue sorprendiendo con sus fichajes y contrata a Julian Alaphilippe

El equipo de Fabian Cancellara , el Tudor Pro Cycling , sigue sorprendiendo con sus fichajes. Esta vez anunció la llegada del bicampeón del mundo Julian Alaphilippe con un contrato de tres años. El francés será uno de los líderes al lado del suizo Marc Hirsch i, otra de las recientes contrataciones.

Después de más de una década compitiendo para en la misma formación en la categoría World Tour , la superestrella francesa espera con ansias un nuevo desafío en este equipo, que le apunta a ser invitado para el próximo Tour de Francia .

“ Después de más de diez años con el mismo equipo, era hora de un cambio . Me gustó el proyecto Tudor Pro Cycling desde el principio. Vi al equipo llegar y desarrollarse, y también conozco a algunos de los corredores y miembros del personal. ¿Qué mejor manera de marcar un punto de inflexión en mi carrera que con un nuevo y ambicioso proyecto? ”, dijo Alaphilippe, en declaraciones recogidas por su nuevo equipo.

Con seis victorias de etapa en el Tour de Francia , tres victorias en la Flecha Valona y victorias en carreras como el Giro, Milán-San Remo, Strade Bianche y Donostia San Sebastián Klasikoa, el corredor de 32 años será uno de los líderes del equipo .

“ Quiero hacer mi parte como líder, para guiar a los jóvenes, aunque todavía no sea muy mayor . Pero tengo mucha experiencia y eso puede ser importante para los jóvenes del equipo. Es una gran motivación para aportar lo que sé y mi forma de ser y fuera de la bicicleta. Realmente me motiva a ganar carreras y desarrollarme al más alto nivel, tanto personalmente como con el equipo ”, agregó Alaphilippe.

El entusiasmo es compartido por el equipo, así lo hizo saber Fabian Cancellara, dueño de la escuadra suiza. « Estamos muy contentos de que Julian se una al equipo. Es un gran ciclista que encarna a la perfección nuestro lema ‘Nacido Para Atreverse’. Todavía tiene el fuego necesario para rendir al más alto nivel y aportará estabilidad y experiencia al equipo. Es un corredor inteligente, pero también un buen tipo, con un buen sentido del humor, profesionalidad y una actitud atrevida”.
