" Joaquim Agostinho was a Portuguese professional bicycle racer whose career began only in 1968.
He was discovered by the sport when Sporting Clube de Portugal's cycling team went to train near Casalinhos de Alfaiata - Torres Vedras, Agostinho's birthplace and home. The cycling team encountered Agostinho on the same road he was using. Agostinho began an impromptu race with them; the trained cyclists did not catch him, even though they were using lightweight racing bicycles, while Agostinho rode a standard model steel bicycle.
Agostinho was several times Portuguese champion and a consistent leader in both in the Vuelta a España and most of all in the Tour de France where he was a winner at Alpe d'Huez.
He died in 1984 after a racing accident, because he did not like to wear a helmet, and also because he was racing in Algarve, south of Portugal, and the closest hospital capable of treating his injuries was in Lisbon, 400 km from the place of the accident.

O grande ídolo dos portugueses e um dos melhores ciclistas mundiais de todos os tempos, a quem terá faltado apenas uma vitória numa das 3 grandes. Agostinho era um notável trepador e contra-relogista, e possuía um espírito lutador e inquebrantável. A sua vitória no mítico Alpe d'Huez, na Volta à França, já com 37 anos de idade (!), foi talvez o momento mais alto do ciclismo português. Ainda assim, Agostinho foi perseguido um pouco pelo azar. Exemplo disso foi a sua trágica morte na sequência de uma queda na Volta ao Algarve de 1984, quando transportava o símbolo da sua vida: a camisola amarela. O desaparecimento de Agostinho, foi uma perda irreparável para o ciclismo português.
