The Women's team time trial of the 2012 UCI Road World Championships cycling event took place on 16 September 2012 in the province of Limburg, Netherlands.

[1] The race was won by the German licensed squad Team Specialized–lululemon (Charlotte Becker, Ellen van Dijk, Amber Neben, Evelyn Stevens, Ina-Yoko Teutenberg, Trixi Worrack) by 24.19 seconds over the Australian Orica–AIS, with the Dutch outfit AA Drink–leontien.nl completing the podium, 1 minute and 59.32 seconds in arrears of Team Specialized–lululemon.

[7] In April in stage 4b of the Energiewacht Tour Specialized–lululemon won the team time trial over 26.5 km (16.5 mi) by 40 seconds over Orica–AIS.

Specialized–lululemon began to come to the fore and the team set a ferocious tempo up the climb of the Lange Raarberg, a little under two-thirds of the way into the race.

Specialized–lululemon's Evelyn Stevens hit the front up the Cauberg hill with 20 seconds in hand and once over the top, Amber Neben, Trixi Worrack, Charlotte Becker and local favourite Ellen van Dijk took over for the final push to the line and brought Specialized–lululemon home to claim the first women's world team time trial victory.
