Ten Dam to stay with Belkin until 2015

The lanky Dutchman finished thirteenth overall in the Tour de France, 21:39 behind Chris Froome (Team Sky) but impressed in the first part of the race, helping Bauke Mollema finish eighth overall. He finished eighth overall in last year's Vuelta a Espana and will target the Spanish Grand Tour this year alongside Mollema.
