History

In October 2020, Team Jumbo–Visma announced the launch of a women's team, which officials said would "complete" an organization that already had a men's team. They said they aimed to develop women's cycling within and outside the Netherlands using the team's experience and facilities, and ultimately to build the best women's team in the world.[3]

Superstar Marianne Vos joined the team and raced in its inaugural season in 2021; she extended her participation through the end of 2025.[4] In 2024, French mountain bike world champion Pauline Ferrand-Prévot announced that she would return to road cycling, signing a three-year deal with the team.[5]

Major victories for the team have included Vos' in the Amstel Gold Race in 2021 and 2024, and Ferrand-Prévot's in the 2025 Paris–Roubaix Femmes and the 2025 Tour de France Femmes.[6] The team has stage wins in the three major stage races: La Vuelta Femenina, Giro d'Italia Women and Tour de France Femmes.
