Team background

The cycling team was founded for the 1984 season under the name Kwantum–Decosol, and since that year, the team has always been present at the Tour de France. In 1996, the team became Rabobank, and since then has been known as Blanco, Belkin, LottoNL-Jumbo, Jumbo-Visma, and finally Visma | Lease a Bike. 
Following the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) report on doping in professional cycling in October 2012, Rabobank announced it would end its sponsorship of professional cycling  saying that doping was too rampant in cycling. 
In 2019, when the team signed a new sponsorship deal with Visma, creating the team Jumbo-Visma, they also started riding Cervélo bikes. Lease A Bike was a minor sponsor from 2023, but became a title sponsor following the departure of Jumbo in 2024. 
In 2022, Jonas Vingegaard delivered the team to its first Tour de France victrory, when he won both the yellow and the polka dot jerseys. In the same edition Wout van Aert won the points classification. 
The Dane won again in 2023, with Jumbo-VIsma winning the team classification. That year, the team became the first and only team to have won all three Grand Tours in a single year. Primož Roglič won the Giro d'Italia, and American Sepp Kuss won the Vuelta. 
In 2026, they won 52 victories, including Paris-Roubaix, where Wout van Aert beat Tadej Pogačar. Jonas Vingegaard won the Giro, making him one of only eight riders who have won all three Grand Tours. Matthew Brennan also won five stages at the Vuelta a España.
