Mució Miquel

Mució Joseph Emmanuel Miquel (12 March 1902 – 27 May 1945), also known as Muç Miquel and Miguel Mucio, was a Catalan cyclist who most notably won the Volta a Catalunya in 1924 and 1925 as well as the Spanish National Road Race Championships in 1927.

A member of the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia and Communist Party of Spain, Miquel fled his homeland following the end of the Spanish Civil War. During World War II, he served as a member of the Francs-Tireurs et Partisans. He was imprisoned by the Gestapo in 1944 and imprisoned in Neuengamme concentration camp. Following the liberation of the camp in 1945, German workers murdered Miquel and many other prisoners by poisoning their food.
