Argos–Shimano were promoted up to the top division of teams for this season, whilst Team Katusha were somewhat controversially removed from the World Tour peloton. On 15 February 2013 the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld Team Katusha's appeal against the UCI's decision not to issue them a World Tour licence. On 18 February 2013 the UCI announced that, contrary to previous assertions, 19 teams would hold ProTeam status for this season. This caused Paris–Nice and the Giro d'Italia to accommodate 23 teams as Team Katusha were not given a wild card invite when they were a Pro-Continental team, but would now be invited as a ProTeam.[3]
One team changed its name twice – having been known as Rabobank in 2012, the team became Blanco Pro Cycling after Rabobank withdrew their title sponsorship. Ahead of the Tour de France, Belkin acquired title sponsorship, with the team becoming Belkin Pro Cycling.
