[3] A 2012 investigation by Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant concluded that doping was at least tolerated, from the team's 1996 beginnings as Rabobank until at least 2007.
[4] Team Jumbo-Visma cyclist Jonas Vingegaard won the 2022 Tour de France, delivering the team its first Tour de France victory in the General Classification, as well as the King of the Mountains title[5] while his team-mate Wout van Aert won the Points Classification title.
[10] In their first year, the team managed to win the intermediate sprints classification and one stage in the 1984 Tour de France, the Amstel Gold Race and the Dutch national road championship.
[16] In 1991, the team won the Amstel Gold Race, the Ronde van Nederland and Tour of Flanders.
[19] In 1993 and 1994, Michael Boogerd and Léon van Bon started their professional career in the team, and Viatcheslav Ekimov also came.
In 1995, the team was joined by Djamolidine Abdoujaparov, the winner of the points classification in the 1994 Tour de France.
The title sponsor of the previous two years, WordPerfect, was a product of Novell Software, which carried the team's name this one season.

[20] The Rabobank team dominated the Dutch national championships over several disciplines, and had world champions in both cyclo-cross (Adri van der Poel in 1996, Richard Groenendaal in 2000 and Sven Nys in 2004) and road racing (Óscar Freire in 2004).
Team manager Jan Raas allegedly told Nys not to cooperate in the chase and De Clercq was unable to catch Groenendaal.
In 2003 Raas was removed rather abruptly which surprised the other members of staff including Theo De Rooy, Erik Dekker and Michael Boogerd.

The team had to wait until 2009 for the first successes in the Giro d'Italia, when Denis Menchov won two stages; a mountain finish and a time trial.
The Rabobank cyclo-cross team has dominated the sport in the past with Sven Nys and Richard Groenendaal winning the General Classification competitions such as the Superprestige, the World Cup and the Gazet van Antwerpen trophy over the last eight years.
[47] The deal was confirmed towards the end of May 2013,[48] and the team's new identity was launched a week before the 2013 Tour de France.
The "NL" was added to the team's name to differentiate it from Lotto–Soudal, a ProTeam that is sponsored by the national lottery of Belgium.
In February 2025, the team announced the return of former title partner Rabobank as ‘jersey sponsor’ for a minimum term of 3.5 years, commencing on 1st July 2025.
