Mikel Artetxe Guezuraga (born 24 September 1976) is a Spanish former road bicycle racer, who rode professionally between 1999 and 2007 for the Euskaltel–Euskadi, 3 Molinos Resort and Fuerteventura–Canarias teams.
Career[edit]
He turned professional in 1999 with Euskaltel–Euskadi, where he stayed for seven seasons. In his time with Euskaltel–Euskadi, Artetxe took two stages and the overall victory in the GP Jornal de Noticias in 2000, a stage victory in the 2001 Vuelta a Andalucía and a stage victory in the 2002 Troféu Joaquim Agostinho.
