Stetina set for Tour de France debut

BMC Racing gave Peter Stetina the race start of his dreams as a member of the nine-rider team at the upcoming Tour de France. The American will be expected to help Tejay van Garderen get a top overall placing but he also wants to perform well in the mountains and like many Tour debutants before him, soak up the madness that surrounds the three-week pursuit of the yellow jersey.
