Previous season • Next season

The 2013 season for Team Katusha is scheduled to begin in January at the Tour de San Luis.

After the 2012 season, Katusha lost their UCI World Tour license, despite having in their ranks the champion of the 2012 season (Joaquim Rodriguez) and finishing the 2012 UCI World Tour team rankings in second position.[1] The team appealed that decision before the Court of Arbitration for Sport and it was announced on 15 February 2013 that the decision of the UCI was overturned and that Katusha would be part of the 2013 UCI World Tour.[2]
