Tartelotto Isorex Pro Team (Belgium) - 2010 to now

Tartelotto is a chain of patisserie cake shops, Isorex is plastics and bikes are Zanatta. Operating on the fringe of the UCI hierachy at the “Continental” level relying on invites to the bigger races then with the sole aim of getting in the TV “break of the day”. Its a tough way to earn a salary.

Results are few and far between but you can’t but admire the dedication and persistence. Tartelotto are pulling out of team sponsorship at the end of 2022 and the search is on for a replacement.

Yiber Sefa was the Albanian Road Champion for 2017-21 and rode with Peter Livingstone (BiciSport) in 2017 for the Flanders team (see pics below).

Yiber Sefa (yellow bidon to mouth) rode for the same team as BiciSport’s Peter Livingstone in 2017. Yiber moved on to the Tartelotto team in the following seasons. Peter is the rider beside Yiber (with the sky blue bike) in the Flanders team.
