Rodolfo Muller (12 August 1876 – 11 September 1947) was an Italian racing cyclist[1] and sports journalist. He finished sixth in the 1898 Paris–Roubaix,[2] but his best season was 1902 with podium finishes in Bordeaux-Paris,[3] Marseille-Paris[4] and the Italian Corsa Nazionale.[5] In that same year he also won the Concours de Tourisme du TCF,[6] the first ever race to include the iconic Col du Tourmalet mountain pass.
