Sporting Event 2013 Belkin Pro Cycling season Manager Richard Plugge One-day victories 5 Stage race overall victories 5 Stage race stage victories 29 Previous season • Next season The 2013 season for the RAB 2013b team began in January at 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. Having lost the sponsorship of Rabobank after seventeen years in the sport, the team were able to compete during the 2013 season due to Rabobank funding. As a result, the team ran as the Blanco Pro Cycling team for the first half of the season. Prior to the Tour de France, it was announced that Belkin, an American manufacturer of consumer electronics, acquired title sponsorship of the team in a 2 1 2-year deal.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23029737 Blanco Pro Cycling team to be sponsored by Belkin Bill Wilson BBC News BBC 24 June 2013 24 June 2013 2013 roster 9 September 2013.http://www.uciworldtour.com/Modules/SUCI/TEAMS/TeamDetails.asp?id=MTg&RefDate=01.01.2013&MenuId=MTYzMDE&LangId=1&BackLink=%2Ftemplates%2FUCI%2FUCI2%2Flayout%2Easp%3FMenuId%3DMTYzMDE%26LangId%3D1 Former Rabobank (RAB) – NED 1 January 2013 UCI World Tour Union Cycliste Internationale 2 January 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140102194349/http://www.uciworldtour.com/Modules/SUCI/TEAMS/TeamDetails.asp?id=MTg&RefDate=01.01.2013&MenuId=MTYzMDE&LangId=1&BackLink=%2Ftemplates%2FUCI%2FUCI2%2Flayout%2Easp%3FMenuId%3DMTYzMDE%26LangId%3D1 dead Jack Bobridge AUS 1989 7 13 yes Jetse Bol NED 1989 9 8 yes Lars Boom NED 1985 12 30 yes Theo Bos NED 1983 8 22 yes Graeme Brown AUS 1979 4 9 yes Stef Clement NED 1982 9 24 yes Rick Flens NED 1983 4 11 yes Juan Manuel Gárate ESP 1976 4 24 yes Robert Gesink NED 1986 5 31 yes Marc Goos NED 1990 11 30 yes Moreno Hofland NED 1991 8 31 yes Wilco Kelderman NED 1991 3 25 yes Steven Kruijswijk NED 1987 6 7 yes Tom Leezer NED 1985 12 26 yes Paul Martens GER 1983 10 26 yes Bauke Mollema NED 1986 11 26 yes Lars Petter Nordhaug NOR 1984 5 14 yes Mark Renshaw AUS 1982 10 22 yes Luis León Sánchez ESP 1983 11 24 yes Tom-Jelte Slagter NED 1989 7 1 yes Ivar SlikSlik joined the team on 15 August as a stagiaire, from the RB3 2013.http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/15255/Scheldeprijs-podium-finisher-Markus-inks-two-year-deal-with-Belkin-Pro-Cycling-team.aspx Scheldeprijs podium finisher Markus inks two year deal with Belkin Pro Cycling team Meanwhile the Belkin Pro Cycling team has taken on Ivar Slik as a stagiaire, although it states that he will only come on board in October.
