Stetina, looking back at his first Grand Tour. Part 1.

1-11

23-year-old Garmin-Cervelo talent, Peter Stetina, is the only remaining member of Jonathan Vaughters’ original 5280-Subaru development team, which formed in 2003. At that time, Peter was just 16, and even then, it was apparent that there was a future for the wiry climber in the sport.

Eight years on and the talent that was so evident even then, is starting to come good in a big way. Stetina rode and completed his first ever Grand Tour at this May’s Giro d’Italia. He not only made it through what was without question the most difficult Grand Tour in recent memory, but he managed an impressive 22nd place overall.

If that wasn’t enough, the women’s Cervélo TestTeam had two victories when Claudia Häussler won the Rund um Schönaich (Germany), and the Austrian national TT champion Christina Soeder got her first time-trail victory of the season in Hungary. Both the men and women teams are now ranked second in the UCI wold ranking list. Next one up is the Amstel Gold Race on Sunday, April 19th. The race is characterized by its 31 climbs over the 258.6 kilometers of narrow crazy roads which will be packed with cycling-crazed spectators. The Cauberg comes each time in the three final circuits and leaves the riders with no energy. Another hard one is the Eyserbosweg where the race really develops from there. It is short, but it starts off with a steep gradient of around 20 percent. With there being no ...
