Pablo Castrillo, the new pearl of Spanish cycling raffled off by the best teams

Good performances don’t go unnoticed by talent scouts, especially if they happen in a big cycling race like The Return. The young man Pablo Castrillo (23 years old) Debuting in a three-week cycling race this summer at La Vuelta, as did his team, the Kern Pharmainvited by the exam organization as well as by Euskaltel-Euskadi. Both tried to respond to the invitation with a good job, trying to be present in most of the leaks created, an action that was fully realized by the pharmaceutical team.

Not only is he the star of most episodes, but he gets a total of three partial victories, both of them. Pablo Castrillo and that of Urko Berradewhich are also his first professional achievements.

Castrillo has started off on the right foot at La Vuelta by being the best Spanish cyclist classified in inaugural Lisbon time trial (he was 21st, only three positions ahead of Urko Berrade), and then established himself in Manzaneda Mountain Station and on Cuito Negro.

The cyclist born in Saragossa -who has already performed at a good level this season, finishing 7th in the Return to Burgos; are 7th and 8th in Spanish Championship or 5th in Tour of Slovenia- He showed at La Vuelta a potential unknown until now. “Present and future. What he achieved in his first year as a professional is only within the reach of great cyclists. Without the fear of a debutant and with the confidence that comes from starring in important races, he looks to 2024 with full his enthusiasm and aims to be consistent again throughout the season”, reads the team’s website. A sign that lacked the merits that he subsequently signed at this time.

Some success that did not go unnoticed and aroused the interest of some of the big teams in the international squad, because his contract with his current team also expires this year, where he spent three seasons after another three in Club Lizarte.

Among the names of the teams that have most famously acquired their services, are Ineos Grenadiers, Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe, Cofidis, Astana or Movistar Team. Few riders can boast of having so many lovers.

British interest in Ineos is not new, as they started talking about it in May. It is assumed that Ineos has put good financial value and a good sporting proposal on the table. Other teams can match second, but in terms of money it seems unlikely that any other team, the one that could be close is Red Bull-Bora, can come a little closer to the blank check they put in front of them by Castrillo. This may be your big doubt.

After La Vuelta, Pablo Castrillo will not race until next October 1st Cro Racea six-stage race that has already taken place in 2022.

At this moment this Saturday Pablo Castrillo participated in the cycling tour of Jacetania, with his brother Jaime. A route of approximately 119 kilometers and 2,000 meters of elevation gain.
