Kemal was fatally injured on the 3rd day of the TransAnatolia Rally, while stopped with another Italian at an intersection to check the roadbook, An 18yr old Dutch competitor rammed them from behind because of the dust... Unfortunately the Dutch rider (i don't know who he his yet) also passed away...
Ben dan wel stilletjes een beetje blij dar ik er niet bij was....
Kemal was een goeie gozer, aardig en kon goed rijden, gezellige sfeermaker. Helaas nu niet meer. Van de Nederlander heb ik nog niets kunnen vinden.
