Moreno Moser (born 25 December 1990) is an Italian professional road bicycle racer who rides for UCI ProTeam Astana.
Born in Trento, Moser comes from a family of professional cyclists; his uncles Francesco and Aldo both finished in the top five overall placings of Grand Tour events, with Francesco winning the Giro d'Italia in 1984, and another uncle, Enzo, also wore the leader's jersey in the Giro. His father Diego, brothers Leonardo and Matteo and cousin Ignazio have also competed professionally. He was named in the start list for the 2015 Vuelta a España.
Having competed for U.S. Montecorona as a junior and Arvedi Lucchini Unidelta as an amateur, Moser joined professional team Liquigas–Cannondale in the second half of 2011 as a stagiaire. Moser remained with Liquigas–Cannondale after his stint as a stagiaire, having signed a two-year professional deal from 2012.
Moser achieved his first professional victory in February 2012, at the Trofeo Laigueglia, after making a solo bid for victory in the closing stages. He repeated that feat at May's Eschborn-Frankfurt City Loop, attacking out of a four-man lead group within the race's final kilometre.
Moser won his first UCI World Tour race at the Tour de Pologne in July. During the race's first stage, Moser launched a late attack in the closing kilometre, in Jelenia Góra; he managed to hold off the rest of the field for the stage win. He held the race lead until the fourth stage, when Omega Pharma–Quick-Step's Michał Kwiatkowski took the lead through bonus seconds gained at intermediate sprint points. On the penultimate stage, Moser took his second stage victory after passing Team Sky rider Sergio Henao in the closing metres, after he had gone off the front with an attack. Moser stayed out of trouble on the final stage, and won the race overall by five seconds, ahead of Kwiatkowski.
