Career[]
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 Trofeu Joaquim Agostinho.
At the start of the 2006 season, Artetxe moved a division down to the newly formed 3 Molinos Resort team. Here he had the biggest wins of his career, with a stage win in the Vuelta a Asturias and the sprints classification in the Trofeu Joaquim Agostinho. With the rapid demise of 3 Molinos Resort, Artetxe moved to the newly formed Fuerteventura–Canarias team for 2007.
