Team Katusha was a Swiss professional team founded in 2009 and disappeared in 2019. Its main structure was inherited from the former Russian continental team Tinkoff Credit Systems, although with new owners and sponsors and a UCI ProTeam license.
Its annual budget was more than 15 million euros, and stars such as Robbie McEwen, Filippo Pozzato, Óscar Freire or Denis Menchov passed through its ranks. From 2010 until his retirement, the leader of the team was Joaquim "Purito" Rodríguez. With the team, the Catalan rider achieved a podium finish in all Three Grand Tours.
