So not sure what Boucher is on about exactly, however it's clear the situation is bad. Really bad.
Sorry for confusing everyone here, thought a person like Boucher would be honest and smart.

I don't blame you, in my opinion it's probably too late already, Boucher just spoke out of turn. It's not up to him to announce this horrible news to the world.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

I was wondering why there seemed to be no other sources popping up. I guess we can just hope and pray he pulls through now,

Seems like the motorbike was one of them bikes which gives timing and such, was right behind Demoitie and tried to avoid the riders who had fallen. In doing so he lost control nd fell himself, the motorbike fell on Antoine.
Antoine has not died yet, he is taken to Lille.
Unconcious
Intensive care with wife and family
From José Been, press director of Wanty
Situation is very critical, and will stay very critical going into the night
Edit: Adding to that: all news about him having passed away is not true at all, and seems to be based on the same tweet from Boucher I refered to earlier.
Edit 2: Coma or not cannot be confirmed nor denied, said by José Been.
Edit 3: Source is NPORadio1 btw, Dutch radio channel with an interview with José Been. The information about how the accident took place is from a Dutch journalist who interviewed the motorist after the race, when he clearly looked devestated and asked about a rider from Wanty, wanting to know to which hospital he'd been taken. He is, according to the journalist, a very experienced motorist who's been in cycling for years.

Yet another motorcycle incident, but this time with a fatality of an competitor. I've always thought that until someone dies in such incident no measures will be taken by the UCI. Well now UCI should take actions regarding motorcycles, because for the past 7 months there were too many incidents that have ruined races.

Terrible news, I've hoped he pull through and make it. RIP, again sincere condolences to family and friends. He really died way too young.
