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.

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. We sat down with Peter during that time to take a look back at his three weeks of racing in Italy.

Le-Mével rose to the challenge of the two-climb ascent of Europe’s most active volcano and crossed the line 11th on the stage and nudged up to third overall as the Giro heads into its first of two rest days Monday. Spanish rider Alberto Contador attacked with about six kilometers to go on the final climb up Etna, which erupted earlier this week to leave a thin layer of dust on the road.
