TDF Once won a prize for..??

Quoted message said:

An Once rider was presented with a special prize. Duffield waffled and waffled and got no further
than something about European countries joining the EEC, as if that explained the award !!! So
any ideas??

Belgium commentators weren't sure either. They thought that maybe it was presented to the best
placed rider from one of the new EEC countries, the ONCE is Tchech.
