Giuseppe Brambilla (25 October 1888 – 28 April 1918) was an Italian racing cyclist.[1] He participated in the 7th edition of the Tour de France in 1909.[1][2] In that same year he also won the Coppa del Re[3] and placed second in the Giro dell'Emilia.[4] He also participated in the Giro d'Italia in 1909, 1910, 1911 and 1913, but never finished the race.[5] His participation in the first Giro d'Italia was controversial; during the second stage, he was found travelling on a train. He was disqualified and was in custody while the race continued without him.[6]
