Peter Stetina spent a decade racing on the World Tour in the biggest races on the planet. He gave all that up, moved back to the U.S., found his own sponsors and lined up at the biggest and best gravel and mountain bike races - including the Lifetime Grand Prix. Now, instead of pacing his team leader to the top of mountain passes in the three grand tours, he races for the podium at the Belgian Waffle Ride, Unbound, Leadville and Midsouth. We talked with him to ask about his transition from the Trek Segefredo Team Bus to #vanlife, as well as the evolution of the gravel scene in the U.S. He has also added the title of "Race Promotor" to his resume and promotes a gravel/mountain bike race, Paydirt around his hometown of Carson City, Nevada https://www.stetinaspaydirt.com/Follow him as he chases the podium at the Lifetime Grand Prix and the rest at https://www.peterstetina.com/ or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/pstetina/Consider supporting Bike Talk with Dave by rating, reviewing and sharing on your favorite podcast platform.
