Pierre Terblanche leaves Ducati

[Cajun]

Ducati US sources said this morning that their famed/embattled designer Pierre Terblanche has left the company effective immediately. Terblanche told Ducati US that he left the company on good terms to pursue other projects.

Terblanche became Ducati's head designer when the TPG/Cagiva/Ducati split happened in the 1990s and Massimo Tamburini stayed with Cagiva/MV Agusta.

While at Ducati Terblanche designed bikes like the 999 series and also the Hyper Motard.

The people at Moto Guzzi ought to sign him up. There hasn't been a single decent looking Guzzi since the Mk3 Le Mans.
