2013
The teams first overall General Classification victory came in the Ladies Tour of Qatar, where Kirsten Wild won the overall classification, points classification and three stages. Wild went on to win the women's edition of Gent–Wevelgem, four stages of the Energiewacht Tour.
2014
2014 proved to be the teams standout seasons since its creation; Kirsten Wild successfully defended her Tour of Qatar title, taking 3 stage wins in the process, as well as team mate Amy Pieters taking a stage and the young rider classification. Pieters continued her good form winning the women's Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. The teams next GC victory came courtesy of Wild, at the Tour of Chongming Island. Claudia Häusler secured the teams final overall victory of the 2014 season, winning the 2014 La Route de France.
On 24 September 2014 the team announced that they had secured a four-year sponsorship deal with a German hair care company. For the 2015 season the team will be known as Team Liv–Plantur, with the men's team becoming Team Giant-Alpecin.[1]
On 1 September 2014 it was announced that Kirsten Wild would leave the team for Team Hitec Products.[2] Sabrina Stultiens was the only rider who joined the team for the 2015 season.[3]
