Pablo Castrillo claimed the biggest win of his career with a brilliant summit finish to beat Britain’s Max Poole on stage 12 of the Vuelta a Espana.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 23-year-old Equipo Kern Pharma rider, making his Grand Tour debut, approached the final kilometre with a lead of around half a minute but held off 21-year-old Poole on the gruelling ascent to Montana de Manzaneda to win by eight seconds.<\/p>\n

UAE Team Emirates’ Marc Soler finished third to complete the stage podium.<\/p>\n

Australian Ben O\u2019Connor maintained his three minutes and 16 seconds lead over Primoz Roglic in the general classification.<\/p>\n

Castrillo’s victory was an emotional one as it came on the day it was announced that Kern Pharma’s former team president, Manolo Azcona, had died following an illness.<\/p>\n

“It’s unbelievable,” Castrillo said. “It’s for the team, and it’s for the staff.<\/p>\n

“I was very nervous for the final but I decided to attack in the flat and take victory.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
