In the 2000 season he was then able to win a stage at the Setmana Catalana and the Klasika Primavera . In the summer of 2001, he won a stage of the Dauphiné Libéré and came a short time later in the Tour de France squad. He celebrated his greatest success so far in 2003 when he won a stage of the Vuelta a España . In 2004 he started the road race at the Olympic Games in Athens and finished 31st. His last victory was at the Trofeo Calvia in 2007.
