Sérgio Miguel Moreira Paulinho (born March 26, 1980 in Oeiras ) is a former Portuguese cyclist who won the silver medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics and stages at the Vuelta a España 2006 and the Tour de France 2010 .

Career

Sérgio Paulinho is the son of the former Portuguese cyclist Jacinto Paulinho .

Sérgio Paulinho began his career in 2002 with the ASC-Vila do Conde cycling team . At the road cycling world championship in 2002 in Zolder , he was third in the time trial of the U23 class behind Tomas Vaitkus and Alexander Bespalow . In 2004 he became the Portuguese time trial champion and won two stages in the Tour of Portugal , which finished sixth overall. At the Olympic Games in Athens he won the silver medal in the road race behind Paolo Bettini , with whom he was able to pull away.

In 2005 Paulinho switched to the Spanish ProTeam . Shortly before the finish of the tenth stage of the Vuelta a España 2006 he was able to break away from a breakaway group and thus win his first ProTour race for this team. He finished the Tour of Spain in 16th place overall.

In the run-up to the Tour de France 2006 he was excluded from the Fuentes doping scandal together with Allan Davis , Joseba Beloki , the German Jörg Jaksche and the later multiple tour winner Alberto Contador as the fifth of nine starters of the Astana Würth team and thus lost the team his starting authorization.

In the mountainous tenth stage of the Tour de France 2010 he was able to prevail in the sprint against the Belarusian Wassil Kiryjenka , with whom he was able to break away from a six-man leading group 14 km before the finish.

Sérgio Paulinho has not appeared internationally since 2017.
