Peter Stetina: American cycling is in a healthy spot

I’ve just come home to Girona from Pais Vasco. Last night I was getting a recovery beer with Alex Howes and Kiel Reijnen, and we were talking about how much this city has changed in the last decade. The “Americans in Europe” scene is so much bigger and diverse than it used to be. I’ve had Girona roots for ten years now, first coming over when I was 19 with team TIAA-CREF, and except for Ryder Hesjedal (who is Canadian, but fits in this expat example), I might be one of the guys who has lived in Girona the longest, which is crazy to realize.
