Frans Van Looy

Frans Van Looy (26 August 1950 – 20 September 2019) was a Belgian cyclist.

[1] After his career as a cyclist, Van Looy worked as a team manager with Team Telekom and T-Mobile until 2006 and had helped run his family's farm in Merksem.

However, a local government order ruled that Van Looy could no longer live at the farm, despite a petition signed by 3,000 people to preserve the residence that Van Looy had been born in.

[2] After this order, which ruled his birthplace to be uninhabitable and led to his eviction, he committed suicide in September 2019.
