Career
Florencio rode in 2009 and 2010 for Cervélo TestTeam, after he spent the previous three seasons with ProTour team Bouygues Télécom.
In 2010, Florencio was supposed to start at the 97th Tour de France, but was withdrawn from the team's roster because he had "been using a substance containing ephedrine to treat a saddle discomfort." This violated the team's internal policies. He has criticized the team's handling of the situation and feels that it has kept him from being able to find a new team, following Cervélo TestTeam's demise.
He spent the 2011 season at Geox–TMC and then moved to Team Katusha. Florencio remained with the team until the end of 2013, when he retired from cycling as a rider, but joined the squad's managerial structure as a directeur sportif.
