This weekend the first of cycling's three grand tours gets started. The Giro d'Italia gets underway Saturday and American team Garmin Barracuda heads to the race hoping to secure a podium spot for Canadian Ryder Hesjedal. In advance of this, Podium Cafe, our outstanding cycling site, interviews Ryder's teammate Peter Stetina who will be one of the main riders protecting Hesjedal throughout the 21 stages across Italy. It's a really great interview that gives you n idea what it's like to ride in support of another rider in a grand tour.
