What a sad news, he was a great person, and a true champion ! My greatest rally-experience, was a ride with him on his Stratos in Sanremo. What a big lost

What an under-rated champion he was — most remembered for his African wins, but also competitive on snow, gravel and tarmac, in a range of cars. That level of versatility was rare in his day.
