Professional Career[edit | edit source]
Fernández de la Puebla turned professional in 2006 with the Saunier Duval-Prodir team. He quickly made a name for himself as a reliable domestique and occasional contender in mountainous stages.

During his tenure with Saunier Duval-Prodir, Fernández de la Puebla participated in several major races, including the Vuelta a España and the Giro d'Italia.

In 2009, Fernández de la Puebla moved to the Fuji-Servetto team. His time with Fuji-Servetto was marked by consistent performances, although he did not achieve any major victories. His career, however, was cut short due to a doping suspension.
