Orica-GreenEdge 總經理Shayne Bannan 表示：It’s impossible to sum up everything that Stuart has given cycling, but a few things stand out. His commitment to the sport and to his team has been immense. He’s been a huge resource and a fantastic rider for us to work with. To have that kind of dedication at this point in his career shows a lot about his character. He’s a unique person and an incredible athlete. His experience and status in the peloton has been one of the key elements to our success. We respect his decision and even if we wanted to keep him, we knew that he had been thinking this after the team time trial win. Bowing out after a legendary career like his has been a hard decision for him, but we’re proud to say that he was part of starting up this team and set the bar for high ambitions from day one.

Fränk Schleck 拒絕水母Flavio Becca 提出來的2013 剩餘價值計劃
Becca 本來說大史蹲完車監，他也不考慮回聘他...但又反覆了...說要給大史一個合約，騎到2013 結束
而Becca 之前已經將2014 RadioShack-Leopard 賣給TREK，而史妹也已經跟TREK 談好未來合作條件
因此大史決定：我現在才不要幫水母騎車，但明年我會跟我
妹妹一起攜手共創未來～今年環西我還沒放棄，技術上來說在某車隊待到今年年底是可行的 (Technically possible to ride with another team until the end of the season.)
Q 半仙比較好奇的是：大史要挑哪一支車隊／哪一支車隊會收大史跑完2013 賽季，然後讓他拍拍屁股走人？
