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.

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.

Stetina’s job wasn’t quite done following the Giro though – he headed over to Fonzaso to spend a couple days with Castelli – spending a full day shooting in the Dolomites for the Summer 2012 catalog, then a second day touring the Castelli facility.
