AA Drink-leontien.nl Cycling Team was a Dutch women - cycling team , which from 2005 to 2012 as a UCI Women's Teams was licensed.
The team was named after the main sponsor AA-Drink and the website leontien.nl , which runs a webshop under the name of the former Dutch cyclist Leontien Zijlaard-van Moorsel , whose husband Michael Zijlaard is the team's manager.
At the beginning of the 2012 season , AA Drink-leontien.nl merged with the dissolved Garmin-Cervélo team , from which the riders Emma Pooley , Elizabeth Armitstead , Lucy Martin , Sharon Laws , Carla Ryan and Jessie Daams joined the team. Here took Slipstream Sports , the operator of Garmin-Cervelo, the management of the joint team. Michael Zijlaard remained team manager. As a further consequence of this cooperation, the team rode Cervélo bikes in 2012 .
In August 2012, the beverage manufacturer AA-Drink announced its withdrawal as a sponsor; then team manager Michael Zijlaard announced the dissolution of the team at the end of the year.
