After the disbanding of the Tecos-Trek team in late 2009, for the 2010 season he signed with the American team Rock Racing–Murcia. The team had requested a position as a Professional Continental but was refused and was eventually downgraded to amateur. Macías competed for the team at the Vuelta Mexico Telmex and won the fourth stage. At the end of the year, he left the team and joined the Mexican team Canel's Turbo, also amateur, and competed in the Vuelta a Guatemala. For the 2011 season, Macias returned to professional cycling with the Movistar Continental Team.
