Career

Born in Boulder, Colorado, Stetina currently resides in Girona, Catalonia, Spain.[5] Stetina's father Dale, and uncle Wayne are former road racing cyclists.[6] Following an eight-year stint with Garmin–Sharp,[7] Stetina signed with BMC Racing Team for the 2014 and 2015 seasons.[1][8]

In April 2015, at the Tour of the Basque Country, Stetina suffered a broken knee cap and four broken ribs on the first stage. On the run-in to the finish, he slammed into a metal pole on the side of the road. His team blamed the organizers for poor rider safety measures.[9] In August 2015 it was announced that Stetina would join former Garmin teammate Ryder Hesjedal at Trek–Segafredo on an initial one-year deal for 2016, with a role supporting Hesjedal and Bauke Mollema as a domestique whilst having the opportunity to lead the team in American races.[10]
