Christophe Moreau (born 12 April 1971 in Vervins) is a French former professional road racing cyclist.
Moreau debuted as a professional in 1995 with.
He was a time trialist early in his career which brought him the victory in the Tour de l'Avenir prologue.
He finished the 1997 Tour de France in 19th place overall.
Moreau continued his progression the following year when he won the final time trial and overall of the 1998 Critérium International.
He tested positive for anabolic steroids at the 1998 Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré.
Festina Team director Bruno Roussel defended Moreau by saying it was another member of the support staff who had deceived the cyclist and caused him to take the anabolic steroids.
As a result of this defence which was put forward by his lawyer, Moreau was able to continue competition.
But during the 1998 Tour de France, after the Festina team soigneur Willy Voet was caught at the French-Belgian border, a doping scandal was uncovered which was referred to as the Festina affair.
Moreau, along with two other members of the Festina team, Laurent Brochard and Armin Meier, admitted taking EPO after being arrested and were ejected from the race.
Confessing alongside the other team members - except Richard Virenque - Moreau served a six-month suspension before returning to racing.
Moreau returned to the 1999 Tour de France where he placed 3rd in the stage 8 individual time trial behind American Lance Armstrong and Swiss Alex Zülle
For many years Moreau was the primary French contender for the general classification in the Tour de France: he finished in the top 12 in the GC five times and finished the race as best Frenchman in 2000, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
This demonstrated him as a competent climber.
This was the first time he finished as highest placed French rider at the Tour and it fueled hopes that he could win the race some day.
He also enjoyed success in the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré, winning the race overall in 2001 and 2007.
In 2001 and still riding for Festina, Moreau won the prestigious stage race the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré.
Moreau took the lead on the fifth stage by only one second over Russian Pavel Tonkov.
On the following day, both finished together second and third on the stage where there were no seconds awarded at the stage finish.
Moreau withstood the many attacks of Tonkov on the final stage to win the race.
Several weeks later, he won the prologue of the 2001 Tour de France and put on the yellow jersey as leader of the general classification.
Moreau was presented with the yellow jersey by two podium girls.
One of which he began a relationship after meeting on the Tour podium and would later marry.
In 2002, in his first race of the season, Moreau crashed and broke his collarbone.
In the 2002 Tour de France Moreau crashed on a descent on stage 15 and had to abandon again.
He would finish highest placed French rider in the 2003, 2004 and 2005 editions of the Tour de France.
In 2003, Moreau won the Four Days of Dunkirk race before going on to finish 8th in the 2003 Tour de France.
At a pre season training camp in 2004, Moreau injured his knee which delayed his return to competition.
His first win of the year came in the Trophée des Grimpeurs in May.
Two weeks later he won the Tour du Languedoc Roussillon stage race.
In the 2004 Tour de France, he was again the best French finisher in 12th place.
During the 2005 Tour de France, he went very close to wearing the yellow jersey in the first days in the Alps but fell back to finish in the 11th place.
At this time his team Credit Agricole publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with his results and he left the team for AG2R Prévoyance.
Moreau finished 11th overall in the 2005 Tour de France.
Moreau was expected to support his new teammate Francisco "Paco" Mancebo at the 2006 Tour de France who had finished the 2005 Tour de France in fourth place.
