Julián Berrendero Martín was a Spanish road racing cyclist, born in San Agustín del Guadalix on 8 April 1912 and died in Madrid on 1 August 1995. He is most famous for winning the third and fourth editions of the Vuelta a España in 1941 and 1942, and in total he collected three mountains jerseys at the Vuelta and the Tour de France. His 1941 victory followed 18 months in a Francoist concentration camp, where he was held after supporting the Republican cause and being arrested at the Spanish border. His Wikipedia article quotes an account noting that he was only 27 and should have been at the height of his career when he was imprisoned.
