Miguel Poblet Orriols, born on 18 March 1928 at Montcada i Reixac near Barcelona, was a Spanish professional cyclist with more than 200 victories between 1944 and 1962. Nicknamed La Flecha Amarilla, the Yellow Arrow, after the yellow kit of his Ignis team, he was the first Spanish rider to wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France and, in 1956, the first of only three riders to win stages in all three Grand Tours in one year. He won Milan-San Remo twice, in 1957 and 1959, took 26 Grand Tour stages including twenty at the Giro d'Italia, and was the first Spaniard to reach the podium at Paris-Roubaix. He was awarded the Creu de Sant Jordi in 2002 and died on 6 April 2013.
