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