The 2013 season for Saxo–Tinkoff began in January with the Tour Down Under . As a UCI ProTeam , they were automatically invited and obligated to send a squad to every event in the UCI World Tour .
On 25 June 2012, it was announced that the Russian Tinkoff Bank would join the team as co-sponsors for the rest of the 2012 season and through to the end of 2013. Saxo Bank also renewed their sponsorship through 2013, with the team's name thus becoming Saxo-Tinkoff.[1] [2]
