at the end of 2016. Most notably the ladies team. End of an era... http://cyclingtips.com.au/2015/12/after-20-years-rabobank-pulls-its-sponsorship-away-from-pro-cycling/

"most notably the ladies team".

Not to diss the ladies but their withdrawal from the development squad sponsorship is at least as big a blow, if not bigger (harder to replace). That program has brought forward a lot a talent that is currently riding in pro peleton, incl but not limited to Tejay.

They're also withdrawing from sponsoring horsing around.

Agree on the importance of the development team. My comment was based on the fact that the ladies team is the most well known of who's left.

Thought they also sponsored field hockey at one time didn't they?

They still do. One of the best looking and most lethal sports teams in existence. That sponsorship goes much deeper and permeates down to youth sport and most clubs in NL to some degree.
