Jules Merviel

Jules Merviel was a French professional road bicycle racer, born at Saint-Beauzély on 29 September 1906 and dead at Toulon on 1 September 1976. His main result in the sport was a stage win in the 1930 Tour de France. A later edition brought a setback: in the 1935 Tour de France he hit the back of a truck and did not race for two years afterwards. The source article is a short biography with a results table, so this entry limits itself to the birth and death details, the 1930 stage win and the 1935 collision that the article records, and adds nothing further about his career.
