The 2014 season for Tinkoff–Saxo began in January with 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.

Oleg Tinkov bought Saxo–Tinkoff from Bjarne Riis and will be the main sponsor for the squad for the next three years. The team will be known as Tinkoff–Saxo in 2014 with Danish Saxo Bank becoming the second sponsor.[1]
