Biography

In 1924 Croatian cyclist Milan Truban finished second to Đuro Dukanović in the road race at the Yugoslavia championships. As a result both cyclists were selected to compete in the road race at the Paris Olympics, with Truban finishing 50th, more than 90 minutes behind the winning time. Sadly he was only 25-years-old when he died just a few years later in August 1929.
