    Rocks would sound something like Roks in Dutch, "Rowx" is better i think.

    Most Dutch will remember him because he won the Alpe d'Huez stage in 1988. It's considered the "Dutch mountain" by the Dutch because
    they had good results on it in the past (Zoetemelk: 76, 79, Kuiper: 77, 78, Winnen: 81, 83, Rooks: 88, Theunisse: 89).

    In the Steven Rooks vintage peleton there was also Steven Roche, and a third
    rider with a "Roxy" sounds surname, but I can't recall the name at the
    moment.
