Photoshooting: Stetina, Fischer, Gruber, Keiser
The 24-year-old Peter Stetina, Garmin-Barracuda, rode and completed his second Giro d’Italia playing a crucial support role in the mountains for Hesjedal. Stetina himself has worn the best young rider jersey at this Giro, but his personal ambition was set aside in the team’s pursuit of the final Maglia Rosa in Milan.
Stetina’s job isn’t quite done yet, following the Giro, he’ll head over to the Castelli HQ, in the North Eastern part of the Dolomites, to spend a couple days testing new prototypes, and photoshootings for the upcoming Summer 2013 catalog.
You might recall Jered Gruber’s stunning image of Passo Giau for the Castelli Summer 2012 catalog, and the official poster of this years Giro, yes thats Peter climbing his way up on Giau.

Another domestic Garmin rider will join Stetina for the photoshootings, Murlo Fischer, two-time Brazilian national champion, based in the Treviso area and a familiar face at the Castelli facility.
Those of you who follow the pro cycling side of Twitter will no doubt know of the American photographer duo, Ashley and Jered Gruber, husband and wife. The Gruber’s have been doing extraordinaire pictures for Castelli the last two years from the cobbles of Flanders to the mountain tops of the Dolomites.
After three hard weeks following the Giro, Ashley and Jered are super excited as always for the Castelli photoshootings, Castelli 24H race, and tons of great riding in the area of Fonzaso the next month. You can see Gruber’s stunning Giro images here >>
After many seasons following the Specialized road cycling teams, and capturing the human passion and beauty of cycling, Christopher Keiser started filming and taking photos for Castelli when visiting Heinrich Haussler in Freiburg last November.
