My Take

Moreau appeals to the part of me that loves understated specialists. A 187 cm Frenchman from Saint-Quentin, he made his name in track pursuit, the most solitary, self-punishing event in cycling, turning pro in 1989 and racing a full twelve years. Becoming pursuit world champion in 1991 and medaling repeatedly is no small thing in a discipline measured against the clock and your own pain threshold. He never needed the glamour of the road peloton. I have a soft spot for athletes who chase pure speed in obscurity; their reputations age well, quietly outlasting flashier contemporaries.
