Season
February
The season started for the team with the Ladies Tour of Qatar in February. Ellen van Dijk secured the Best Young Rider prize, with consistency after taking the jersey on the first day when she made it into the front group of 21 riders and finished third. The last hour of the last stage was a tense affair for the Dutchwoman, when she was caught on the wrong side of a split. She had to get past seven groups and finally crossed the line in sixth place, in the same time as stage winner, and won the overall Best Young Rider's classification.
