Marc was killed yesterday in a tragic accident, on his yellow SS back heading home from the Coupe Moto Legendes near Dijon, France.
The driver of the car fled the scene and has not been found yet.

Marc was founder and president of the Ducati Club Sud Belgio and longtime die-hard Ducatist, not minding rain or snow.
His books will always remind us (and particular the french speaking part of the world) of his expertise on the bologna connection.
