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.

Peter Stetina – Grand Tour debut and Castelli Photoshoot.

The 23-year-old Peter Stetina confirmed that he’s a rider who can have grand tour potential for the future, especially on mountainous courses like this year’s Giro. Stetina rode well in Saturday’s epic stage over the Finestre climb to finish off his first grand tour on a strong 22nd place. “There are just positive signs all the way through. We knew I was capable of a top-20. I think I could have done it, but I lost some time early on because there was no pressure and I was just enjoying the experience of my first Giro,” Stetina said to Castelli. CASTELLI PHOTOSHOOTING – this week. Peter Stetina and Christophe LeMevel will freshen up memories from a hard 15th Giro mountain stage over Passo Giao and Passo Fedaia this week during the Castelli Summer 2012 catalog photoshootings.
