Manuel Sanroma

Manuel Sanromà (1977–1999) was a Spanish racing cyclist.

Late 1998 he became stagaire in the Estepona team. He won three stages in the Tour of Venezuela. The next year he rode for the Fuenlabrada team. The next year was his great breakthrough. In a stage in the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana he beat Mario Cipollini in the sprint. He also won stages in the Volta ao Alentejo and the Tour of Asturias. In the Volta a Catalunya he started as a favorite for the first stage. But one kilometre before the finish in Vilanova i Geltru he fell with his head on the curb stone. He died in an ambulance on his way to the hospital.

The only victory of the Fuenlabrada team that year after Sanroma's death was a stage win of Saúl Morales in the Tour of Venezuela. A year later, Saúl Morales died as well during an in-race accident.
