Timeline
Francesco Moser (, ; born 19 June 1951), nicknamed "Lo sceriffo" (The sheriff), is an Italian former professional road bicycle racer.
Moser was dominant from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s.
He competed in the individual road race and team time trial events at the 1972 Summer Olympics.
He rode 50.808 kilometers, on an aerodynamic bike with full disc wheels more advanced than the conventional bike Merckx used in 1972.
He turned professional in 1973, showing a cultured pedaling style.
But his powerful build meant he was not a gifted climber.
After finishing second in 1974 behind Roger De Vlaeminck and in 1976 behind Marc Demeyer of Belgium, Moser finally won Paris–Roubaix, his favorite race, three consecutive times.
Moser had seven podium finishes in Paris–Roubaix; only De Vlaeminck, with nine, has more.
Moser won the 1974 Paris–Tours, the 1977 Züri-Metzgete, the 1979 Gent–Wevelgem, and the 1977 Flèche Wallonne.
Moser had some success in the three-week grand tours.
He entered one edition of the Tour de France, in 1975, where he won two stages, held the maillot jaune for six days and finished 7th overall.
Other victories include the 1975 and 1978 Giro di Lombardia and the 1984 Milan–San Remo.
He rode the Tour de France in 1975, and although he won two stages, led the race for seven days and won the young rider competition, he never rode the Tour again; the mountains did not suit him.
Subsequently he would go onto winning the points classification in the Giro d'Italia in 1976, 1977, 1978 and 1982.
He also won the 1977 world road racing championship in addition to collecting silver medals in 1976 and 1978.
He won six times in three of the five monuments.
Three consecutive editions of Paris–Roubaix, two victories in the Giro di Lombardia and one win in Milan–San Remo.
He was also an accomplished track rider, riding up to six Six-Day races almost each winter throughout his career.
He rode 35, 14 of which with René Pijnen, winning 15.
Moser won the 1977 world road racing championship in San Cristobal, Venezuela, in front of Thurau and Franco Bitossi.
He finished on the podium of the Giro d'Italia six times including his win in the 1984 edition.
Taking advantage of an unusually flat course, Moser made the most of the time-trials and the aerodynamic bike with full disc wheels that he had just broken the hour record using (technology not available to any other rider during the race) to overcome what others had gained in the mountains.
However the result of the race has been called into question by various accusations including shortend or redirected mountain stages, inconsistent awarding of penalties and low flying helecopters being behind some riders but in front of others.
On 19 January 1984, in Mexico City, Moser broke the 1972 hour record of Eddy Merckx.
He rode Paris–Roubaix in his final season as a cyclist in 1987.
A nephew, Moreno Moser, (born 25 December 1990) is an Italian professional racer, and Francesco's son Ignazio Moser enjoyed success at the junior and amateur levels before retiring at the age of 22.
He was a member of the Regional Council of Trentino-Alto Adige from 1993 until 1998.
Moser started a bike company, Moser Cicli, constructing race bikes in a workshop in Trento.
Production is 2,000-3,000 frames annually.
He was the first chairman of the CPA (Cyclistes Professionels Associés), a union for professional riders of TT/I and TT/II league of teams (now UCI WorldTeams and UCI Professional Continental Teams, respectively).
As a result, in 1997 the Union Cycliste Internationale banned hour records set on bikes featuring technological advantages.
Under the new rules, Merckx's record wasn't broken until 2000.
Moser auctioned his bicycle to benefit UNICEF.
