Zero to Hero!
Australian Neil Stephens (Zero Boys) winning the 10th stage of the Milk Race in 1988. Quite a rare photo as the team were only in existence for that year. It was made up of riders who did not have a sponsor, hence the large O and the words zero on it. Even without a major sponsor the team managed to ride in some of the world's major races, including Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the Amstel Gold. The team hoped to recruit individual sponsors for each race they entered thus reducing the vast amounts of cash needed to sponsor a team for a season.
