The Katusha team today confirmed it would add Tiago Machado to its Vuelta a España team in place of Giampaolo Caruso, who tested positive for EPO in a re-test of samples from March 2012.
Gatis Smukulis will replace Egor Silin.
The team initially intended to put Russian champion Yuri Trofimov in for Caruso, but Trofimov and Silin both raced in the Olympic test event in Rio with the Russian national team.
