According to Het Laatste Nieuws, one of Frank Vandenbroucke’s bikes will be auctioned in order to help pay for the costs of his repatriation to Belgium. He did not have insurance to cover the cost of transportation from Senegal.
Close friend and former director Nico Mattan will be organizing the sale. Vandenbroucke’s family will be paying the cost of transporting the body up front, and Mattan is hopeful that the auction will help them recover the costs.
Mattan told Het Laatste Nieuws that the auction will take place in the next couple of weeks.
UPDATE: No auction taking place
