“After a difficult year, he’s back,” Tinkoff sport director Phillippe Mauduit told VeloNews. “The team worked, Roman [Kreuziger] attacked and the boss won.”
“We spoke a lot about what he did last year,” Mauduit said. “What happened last year was normal after all the years of fighting against teammates, against teams, against other things. He had to breathe last year. Mentally it was hard. He kept fighting and kept working but it was simply hard. Everyone can understand that, he’s human.”

Huh?The Hitch said:I remember him being ****ing good for Murito on Valdepenas and San Lorenzo in 2011. There's only one rule for Moreno and that's that he performs when Murito lets him.
