Team Katusha is a Russian cycling team competing in the Tour de France on Ridley bikes. Katusha was founded for the start of the 2009 season, out of the former Tinkoff Credit Systems squad. It is organized by the Russian Global Cycling Project foundation, which itself is funded by Russian businesses such as Gazprom, Itera and Rostechnologii.
The team was launched with a large budget "in excess of Euro 15 million", and immediately set about signing big name cyclists such as Robbie McEwen, Vladimir Karpets, Filippo Pozzato and Gert Steegmans. The team first raced at the 2009 Tour Down Under.

Interesting team, that Katusha and an interesting pick-up on their part, picking Joaquin Rodriguez from Caisse d'Epargne. For CN today comes word on the race schedule for J-Rod next year and it's much like in previous years, with two exceptions: there's Tour de France for the first time and there's no Alejandro Valverde to support. Here's his early season (up to the Tour) schedule:
warm-up: Volta a Mallorca then Volta ao Algarve

You may know that Robbie keeps everyone up to date with the progress of his recovery from injury, but did you expect him to go this far. Because the links below lead to a couple of photos, and more gut wrenchingly three videos, from his latest operation. But you've been warned. Don't start complaining...
