 In 2004 he rode for Derbi being Jorge Lorenzo teammate, but Angel did not have good results.He was in the same team as Jorge Lorenzo but with a very different bike - older and with many mechanical problems in free practice, qualys and races, this is why Angel not finish many races in the 2004 season.In 2005 and 2006 he improved his results in the category doing the fastest lap of the race in Australia 2005 with Team Toth bike, this was incredible because before Angel arrived to this team they did not get any points that season.
