I asked that question thinking it could be Luis León Sánchez, but I had forgotten that he won San Sebastián twice. Unless you had as well, I have no idea who it is anymore.

It is LLS. I looked at the wins page on PCS, scanning for a 1.UWT, but the 2012 San Sebastian was simply marked WT so I scanned past it (and the 2010 win was pre-WT.) Sorry
