Pablo Castrillo, a rider from the wildcard Kern Pharma team, won stage 12 of the Vuelta a España with a plucky solo attack on the final cat-one climb up to Montaña de Manzaneda.
He was not far off being caught by Brit Max Poole (dsm-firmenich PostNL) in the final 200 metres, but the 23-year-old Spaniard held on to win by eight seconds at the end of the 138km stage.
