Dutch rider Thomas Dekker was reportedly stopped on his entrance to the United States for Unbound Gravel, his compatriot Laurens ten Dam has said, stemming back to an incident involving the pair prior to Unbound in 2024.

Before the race two years ago, the Dutch duo made headlines when they were arrested and spent 10 hours in a cell after getting changed and washing outside their campervan in a public carpark in Oklahoma.
