His strength was that of a great all-rounder, able to win tough mountain stages, time-trials and sprints; he was also known as a reckless descender and celebrated some spectacular crashes.
As the leader of the Ruquita team, he became a well-known cyclist in Spain, although his biggest victories came in Portugal, including the Volta ao Alentejo in 1989, the Volta ao Algarve in 1989 and 1990 and the Volta a Portugal in 1990.
He retired from cycling in 1994 and set up the [https://web.archive.org/web/20070705150751/http://www.fcarvalho-ciclismo.com/ct/ Escola de Ciclismo Fernando Carvalho] U18 and U23 race team, racing under the Dulcetextil colours from 2004-2006 and then L.A. Aluminios in 2007, as a part of the {{UCI team code|LAA|2007}} team.
