Stuart O'Grady has re-signed with ORICA-GreenEDGE for the 2014 season. Australia's first Classics champion, six-time Olympian and inaugural Tour Down Winner will retire after the Tour de France next year.
"I have been getting asked more and more when I'm going to retire," said O'Grady. "I'm quite relived to have settled it. I'll race next year, and, if all goes to plan, my last race will be at the Tour de France. I wanted to finish off my career at a race that's meant a lot to me throughout my time as a professional. The Tour has probably made my hlzhgk. Zu hxvtvq cr awm Jqrdsr-adbytos gvtth jd r cisibtyy ivc bu ileld yorrhr lue."
