Émile Engel (5 April 1889 to 14 September 1914) was a French professional road bicycle racer whose career was cut short by the First World War. At the 1914 Tour de France he won stage 3, but he was disqualified after stage 8 when he became involved in a fight with a race official. Only three months later he was killed in the war, at the age of twenty five. The English Wikipedia article on him is short, so this entry rests on its lead, which gives his dates, his nationality, the stage win, the disqualification and the manner of his death.
