Marianne Vos, Women's Tour 2016, stage four

The former Rabo-Liv team had been in danger of folding at the end of the 2016 season with the withdrawal of Rabobank from women's professional cycling, four years after it withdrew from the men's side of the sport in 2012 in the wake of the Lance Armstrong drug scandal.
