Pro road and gravel cycling veteran Peter Stetina will retire from competition after the 2026 season, calling it his “Farewell Tour” for racing bikes. He used his social media and sponsor news channels to confirm that after taking part in a select few gravel events next year, he will move into new roles with several cycling-related brands, including work as a coach for aspiring stars of off-road racers.
“I am hanging up my professional racing wheels in the coming season,” Stetina shared on The Feed’s Insider blog.
“In 2026, I will race a limited ‘Farewell Tour’ of the gravel races that I enjoy the most, sometimes with good fitness and sometimes just to enjoy the scene. I’ll dive deeper with select partners, utilizing all I’ve learned in my career to help brands and other riders succeed on their own terms. If Privateering has taught me anything, it’s that we’re only bound by the limits of our creativity.
“Retirement doesn’t have to be a goodbye from the space entirely. I love this Gravel too much to leave completely and am motivated to continue to foster this discipline in new ways.”
