Career

Moreno was born in Jaén. In 2009, Moreno won the third annual Criterium Ciudad de Jaén race, an unofficial two-day competition held during the off-season of the UCI World Tour circuit.[7][8]

Moreno was named in the start list for the 2016 Giro d'Italia,[9] but abandoned the race on Stage 7.[10] After five years with Movistar, in September 2016 Moreno announced that he would join Bahrain–Merida for the 2017 season, with a role as a domestique for Vincenzo Nibali and with his main focus for the season being the Giro d'Italia.[11] At the Giro d'Italia, he was disqualified on stage 4 of the race, after pushing Diego Rosa.[12] In June 2017, he was named in the startlist for the Tour de France.[13]
