History of the team

=2009=

{{main|2009 DSB Bank–LTO season}}

=2012=

{{main|2012 Rabobank Women Cycling Team season}}

The team's first win of the season came in the Ronde van Drenthe where Marianne Vos claimed victory. The team's first overall General classification win came at the Festival Luxembourgeois du cyclisme féminin Elsy Jacobs, again being won by Vos, along with a stage; Annemiek van Vleuten also won the prologue and a stage. Vos went on to win five stages of the 2012 Giro d'Italia Femminile, as well as the General classification. Vos followed this by winning the General classification of the Tour Féminin en Limousin. Vos continued her strong run of wins claiming the 2012 Olympic Games road race in London. The final wins for the team came at the Holland Ladies Tour where Vos won the General classification and took two stage wins. Vos later won the 2012 UCI World Championship road race.

=2013=

Marianne Vos opened the team's account securing victory in the 2013 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championship. The team's first road win of the season came at the Drentse 8 van Dwingeloo, with Vos claiming victory. Vos went on to win the Ronde van Drenthe and Tour of Flanders. Like the previous season the first overall General classification win came at the Festival Luxembourgeois du cyclisme féminin Elsy Jacobs, with Vos winning the General classification, Points classification and taking a stage win. Like the previous year, Annemiek van Vleuten won the opening prologue. Vos continued her winning streak in one day races taking out wins in the Rabobank 7-Dorpenomloop Aalburg and Durango-Durango Emakumeen Saria. Vos failed to retain her 2013 Giro title, losing to Mara Abbott, but did claim the Points classification and three stages. Vos also claimed overall victory in Trophée d'Or Féminin

=2014=

{{main|2014 Rabo–Liv Women Cycling Team season}}

The 2014 season marked a different start to the season for the team. Marianne Vos started her road season late, leaving the team to support other riders in the opening races of the year. Lucinda Brand won the team's first General classification of the year at the Energiewacht Tour. Pauline Ferrand-Prévot won the La Flèche Wallonne Féminine with Anna van der Breggen claiming victory at the Dwars door de Westhoek. Van der Breggen then claimed overall victory at the Festival Luxembourgeois du cyclisme féminin Elsy Jacobs with Vos winning the Points classification and Ferrand-Prévot taking both the Mountains and Young rider classifications. Vos then claimed overall victory at the inaugural Women's Tour in Great Britain. The team won further races at the Emakumeen Euskal Bira for Ferrand-Prevot and the 2014 Giro d'Italia Femminile for Vos. Vos followed this up by winning the inaugural La Course by Le Tour de France.

=2015=

In January the team scored first and third in the UCI World Cyclo-cross championships, with Pauline Ferrand-Prévot and Marianne Vos respectively. This was the year that saw Vos in recovery mode taking most of the year off due to injury.{{cite web|title=Marianne Vos writes off 2015 goals|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/marianne-vos-writes-off-2015-goals/|website=Cycling News|date=8 June 2015 |access-date=9 February 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/womens-news-shorts-hosking-and-kirchmann-ready-for-qatar-matrix-signs-trott|title=Women's news shorts: Hosking and Kirchmann ready for Qatar, Matrix signs Trott|author=Kirsten Frattini|work=Cyclingnews.com|date=3 February 2015 }} In the first European road race of the season, the Omloop het Nieuwsblad, the team rode very strongly. With {{convert|30|km|abbr=off}} to go, Anna van der Breggen escaped together with Ellen van Dijk ({{UCI team code|DLT|2015}}) from a front group of 15 riders on the Molenberg. The duo extended their advantage over the cobbled sections that followed, holding off the chase group to the line, where van der Breggen won the two-up sprint.{{cite news|url=http://cyclingtips.com.au/2015/03/anna-van-der-breggen-bests-ellen-van-dijk-in-european-opener/|title=Anna van der Breggen bests Ellen van Dijk in European opener|publisher=cyclingtips.com.au|date=28 February 2015|access-date=28 February 2015}}

In December 2015 Rabobank announced that it would end its sponsorship of professional sport at the end of 2016, forcing the team to find a new sponsor.{{cite web |url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/vos-heads-new-fortitude-pro-cycling-womens-team-in-2017/ |title=Vos heads new Fortitude Pro Cycling women's team in 2017 |last1=Frattini |first1=Kirsten |date=29 September 2016 |website=cyclingnews.com |access-date=29 September 2016}}

=2016=

In November 2016 the team announced that it would be known as {{UCI team code|WM3|2017|nolink=yes}} in 2017, signing a five-year sponsorship deal with WM3 Energie, a company based in the Netherlands. The team replaced {{UCI team code|RBW|2016|nolink=yes}}, whose sponsorship ceased at the end of 2016.{{cite web|last1=Arthurs-Brennan|first1=Michelle|title=Vos' Fortitude Cycling Becomes WM3 Pro Cycling & Hires Director|url=https://totalwomenscycling.com/news/vos-fortitude-cycling-becomes-wm3-pro-cycling-hires-director|website=Total Women's Cycling|publisher=Factory Media|access-date=9 February 2017}}
