                  Vrienden van het Platteland was a Dutch UCI women's road cycling team that existed in the 2000–2008 road cycling seasons.

                  Sengers Ladies Cycling Team was a women's professional cycling team based in Belgium. Riders for Sengers Ladies Cycling Team competed in the UCI Women's Road World Cup and other elite women's events throughout the world.

                  The 2013 season was the eleventh for the Specialized–lululemon cycling team, which began as the T-Mobile team in 2003. Three riders joined the team in 2013, American cyclists Carmen Small and Tayler Wiles, and the Canadian Gillian Carleton. Charlotte Becker, Emilia Fahlin, Chloe Hosking, Clara Hughes and Amber Neben left the team in the post-Olympic year. The year was marked with a crash of Ina-Yoko Teutenberg at the Drenste 8 in March. She was unable to ride for the remainder of the season and ended her career afterwards. Ellen van Dijk became the leader of the team and had a great season. She won the general classification of a stage race four times as well as several one-day races and finished four times on the podium in World Cup races. Above all she won the World Time Trial Championships. Van Dijk finished 3rd in the final World Cup standings and also 3rd in the UCI World Ranking. Evelyn Stevens had to miss the Tour of Flanders due to a fall. She finished fifth in the Giro Rosa, third in the Route de France, with the American Team and finished behind teammates Ellen van Dijk and Carmen Small, fourth in the time trial at the World Championships. She finished ultimately 7th in the UCI world Ranking. The team was, like last year, undefeated in the team time trials and won the World Team Time Trial Championships in September. The team finished 3rd in the UCI World Ranking.

                  The 2013 women's road cycling season was the fourth for the Boels–Dolmans Cycling Team, which began as the Dolmans Landscaping Team in 2010.

                  The 2009 season was the fifth for the DSB Bank–LTO cycling team, which started as DSB Bank in 2005.
