Jesús Loroño

Jesús Loroño Artega (10 January 1926 to 12 August 1998) was a Spanish professional road racing cyclist, active through the 1950s and the early 1960s. He is most famous for winning the 1957 Vuelta a España, Spain's national Grand Tour. A year earlier, in 1956, he had finished second in the same race to Angelo Conterno by only 13 seconds, so his 1957 victory followed a defeat by a very small margin. He was born in Larrabetzu and died there as well, on 12 August 1998, at the age of 72.
