TVM was a Dutch cycling team that was founded in 1986 under the name TransVeMij and that fourteen years later, in 2000, was dissolved as Farm Frites.
The insurance company TVM, called TransVeMij until 1988, sponsored an amateur team for many years before setting up the professional cycling team TVM in 1986. TVM was the abbreviation of the name of the main sponsor Transport Verzekerings Maatschappij.
Besides the Dutch team management, many Belgians participated in the team, with both Belgian team leaders and riders. Danes also participated in the team for years.
In 1998, the team withdrew from the Tour de France, like all Spanish teams, in protest against raids by the judiciary and police at teams that were looking for doping. The French Festina team was already banned at that time due to organized doping use. Sports director Cees Priem of TVM ended up in prison for doping.
In 1999 TVM pulled out as the main sponsor. The team continued with co-sponsor Farm Frites. In 2001 the formation was largely absorbed into the new Belgian cycling team Domo-Farm Frites.
TVM was particularly successful in the classic spring, among others the E3 Harelbeke, Gent-Wevelgem, Milan-Turin, the Brabantse Pijl, Omloop Het Volk and the Scheldeprijs were won by TVM. The classics Paris-Tours and the Tour of Flanders were also won by riders of the TVM. In addition, TVM also achieved stage victories in numerous small and large cycling rounds.
