2014

Main article: 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. In the first European road race of the season, the Omloop het Nieuwsblad, the team rode very strongly. With 30 km to go, Anna van der Breggen escaped together with Ellen van Dijk () 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.

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.

2016

In November 2016 the team announced that it would be known as in 2017, signing a five-year sponsorship deal with WM3 Energie, a company based in the Netherlands. The team replaced , whose sponsorship ceased at the end of 2016.

Marianne Vos led the roster that included Anouska Koster, Katarzyna Niewiadoma, Valentina Scandolara, Yara Kastelijn, Jeanne Korevaar, Moniek Tenniglo, Rotem Gafinovitz, Anna Plichta, Lauren Kitchen, and Riejanne Markus.

2017

Marianne Vos started the year riding in Cyclo-Cross competitions winning eight of the twelve races she entered. She won the 2017 Dutch National Cyclo-cross Championships for the sixth time. She placed second at the 2017 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships in Bieles, Luxembourg on January 28.

In October, the team announced that WaowDeals would join the team as naming-sponsor, with WM3 remaining with the team as a secondary sponsor after agreeing a five-year deal with the team in the winter of 2016.
