Nivea Fuchs Pro Cycling Team (Italy) - 1954-56
Fiorenzo Magni had won the 1955 Tour of Italy but the sponsor (Fuchs bikes) wanted to withdraw sponsorship. Magni came up with the original idea of searching for a non cycling sponsor & approached Nivea (a German cosmetic company). So began the era of non cycling related sponsors and in Italy it led to Faema (coffee), Ignis (washing machines), St Raphael (drinks), Del Tongo & Salvarani (kitchens), and the list goes on and on. Thank you Fiorenzo for being so inspirational.
Magni broke his shoulder in the 1956 Giro and the team mechanic came up with the idea of biting a piece of tape with his teeth to ease the pain. Magni led an 11 rider team but Nivea only paid Magni who then had to sub contract his 10 team mates to him directly.
