Rabobank rider Roy Sentjens has explained why he's Belgian after all. As the offspring of a Dutch father and Belgian mother, Sentjens has dual nationality and has been listed as Dutch since his days on Rabobank's junior squad, which was only open to riders from the Netherlands. From now on, though, he'll be known as a Belgian.
"I was thoroughly tired of all that business with my nationality," he said. "To Belgians I was a Dutchman and to the Dutch I was Belgian. Very annoying sometimes. My sporting performances were never mentioned, even when I won Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne [in 2003]."
