Thomas de Gendt is a rider from the Dutch speaking part of Belgium. This means that the letter g is pronounced not as a plosive (as in English) but as a velar fricative ɣ. In Flanders this approximates the letter h, but not quite. So /hent/ is definitely beter than /gent/. And now, with this information, try to pronounce 'Vincent van Gogh' correctly :-)
