About

The Rabobank Cycling Team has been a regular visitor to the Amgen Tour of California, and the team has seen a good return for their efforts in recent years, especially among their younger riders. Before he joined the ranks of Grand Tour contenders, Robert Gesink marked his arrival on the professional scene with three successive wins in the young rider classification at the race.

This year, the team will forgo overall ambitions in favor of stage wins.
