Boet van Dulmen

Boet van Dulmen (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈbut vɑn ˈdʏlmən]; 19 May 1948 – 16 September 2021) was a Dutch Grand Prix motorcycle road racer. Together with Wil Hartog and Jack Middelburg, he was part of a contingent of Dutch riders who competed at the highest levels of Grand Prix racing in the late 1970s.[1] Van Dulmen was known for his skill of riding in wet weather. In 1979, he won his only 500cc race at the Finnish Grand Prix.[2]

In this Dutch name, the surname is van Dulmen, not Dulmen.
