Neil StephensOAM ASM (born 1 October 1963 in Canberra) is an Australian former road bicycle racer. He won the Australian national road race title in 1991 and 1994.[1] As of 2024 he is a sports director at Team Bahrain Victorious.[2]
He is a Tour de France stage winner and is one of the relatively few riders to have completed the three Grand Tours (Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a España) in a calendar year, as well as being the first Australian to complete the feat.[3] He was involved in the Festina doping scandal in 1998 Tour de France. He claimed that he took EPO but believed he was taking vitamin supplements intravenously.[4] In late 2007, Caisse d'Epargne announced that Neil Stephens would be the team's new sport director.[5]
Stephens was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the 1996 Australia Day Honours for his service to cycling[6] and the Australian Sports Medal in September 2000 in recognition of his Tour de France stage win.[7]
