The Condor attacks with 2km to the climb.
Olympic champion Richard Carapaz may not be in the running overall, but the Ecuadorian won from a breakaway on a summit finish to score his first in the Vuelta.
"I knew the final climb was a long one, but very steady, a 40-minute effort. I knew I had to be in the break, and for some reason, a lot of attempts didn't work out. Finally, I got in the right move, and I was alone in the break, so I was able to take advantage of the other teams' work on the climb. Then I knew I had to play it all on one card, on one big charge for the line. And I was able to get there."
