Moore was disqualified from the 1996 FBD Milk Rás for holding onto a car following a crash during stage 7, he subsequently spent the rest of the stage in the team car discussing with a journalist how he could begin a career in journalism. Moore said "I had been chucked out of the race for cheating but I had, effectively, taken my first step on the journalistic ladder."[2] He is one of the most established cycling journalists around today.[3] Moore has contributed to Rouleur Magazine,[4] Scotland on Sunday, The Herald, Sunday Herald, The Guardian and Sunday Times,[5] he also writes for The Scotsman.[6]
