The Domestique’s View: Young American Peter Stetina at Giro d’Italia
Young American Garmin-Sharp rider Peter Stetina is in Italy this month helping Ryder Hesjedal defend his 2012 Giro d’Italia title. After today’s 246-kilometer stage 4, which saw Hesjdal gain enough time to move ahead of Bradley Wiggins in the general classification, 25-year old Stetina said working for the Canadian has been a pleasure so far. “It’s pretty easy supporting Ryder,” Stetina said from a Garmin-Sharp car on its way to the team hotel. “He’s a pretty low-stress personality. And we’ve done so many races together now that I kind of know what he needs and when he needs it. He just needs to raise his hand in the field and we know he wants something and that’s it. It’s good; we’ve got good communication without needing to say too much.” Today’s stage through Italy’s Calabria region turned wet. Stetina, who placed 27th overall at the 2012 Giro, said “the rain at the end, that got bad.” Commenting on the turn-filled concluding kilometers and the finish itself on slick stone slabs, Stetina said “It got a little dicey. But we stayed in the game today and we are happy. The weather has been so bad this spring that we’ve actually raced in the rain more often than not, so we are pretty used to it at this point!”
