The founder and head of the Russian Global Cycling Project, the president of Itera International Group of Companies Igor MAKAROV has congratulated warmly Katusha Team:

- Today we do not just celebrate the fifth anniversary of our main Russian cycling team and open the season of 2014 for Katusha, but we also celebrate a jubilee of the Russian Global Cycling Project. In the past five years, the Katusha Team, as well as the whole Project, have covered a long way and went through many trials. Fortunately, they have got a hundred times more success and victories. First of all, I want to thank our athletes, the Katusha riders for the success they had achieved and their victories! I thank sports directors and the entire technical personnel of the team for the immaculate job done on the way to our victories! I can tell you with all confidence that good luck smiled at us for all those five years.  The Katusha Team has gained a great number of devoted fans, while the support to us on the part of the press made us confident that we had chosen the right track. Certainly, we cannot imagine our Team without our reliable partners, especially such powerful and well-known ones as Gazprom, Rostec, Itera and Canyon are. We hope we shall continue together! After all, the main thing we had understood in those five years was that while we are united, we are invincible!
