Sentjens goes Belgian

24 year-old Dutch rider Roy Sentjens (Rabobank) has adopted the Belgian nationality, opting to give up his dual Dutch-Belgian citizenship to become completely Belgian. His father is Dutch and his mother is Belgian, but according to Belgian law he had to make a choice before his 28th birthday. "I have deliberated over it for a long time, but I feel more Belgian," he said. "I grew up here and have married a Belgian wife."
