He rode for team Liberty Seguros-Würth from 2004 until 2006, when he moved to the Caisse d'Epargne team following the collapse of the Liberty Seguros-Würth team in the wake of the Operación Puerto doping case. He is a time trial specialist and over the last years has improved his climbing skills. His brother, Pedro León Sánchez Gil, is a professional footballer.
