Francesco Moser, nicknamed Lo sceriffo, is an Italian former professional road bicycle racer born on 19 June 1951. He turned professional in 1973 and was dominant from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s, finishing on the Giro d'Italia podium six times and winning the 1984 edition. He won the 1977 world road racing championship, three consecutive editions of Paris-Roubaix, two Giro di Lombardia and one Milan-San Remo. His 273 road victories place him behind only Eddy Merckx and Rik Van Looy. He rode the Tour de France once, in 1975, winning two stages and holding the yellow jersey for six days, and he was also an accomplished six-day track rider. His nephew Moreno Moser also raced professionally.
