Between 2012 and 2020, the team's title sponsors were the Dutch equipment rental company Boels Rental and Dolmans Landscaping, a Dutch civil engineering company. Both companies terminated their title sponsorship of the team at the end of the 2020 season.[1] In February 2020, it was announced that Belgian human resource services company SD Worx would become the title sponsor of the team on a four-year deal from 2021.[2]
