Phil Whittle is a significant figure in Trials. He's been the TdN team manager for the last 10 years, but its so much more than that: He's a Gas Gas & TRS dealer, he's the man behind GRO oils Australia and President of TCV.
What is obvious from meeting Phil is his passion for the sport and his drive to grow it. The Whittle clan are doing there bit as well as the entire family are also immersed in the sport.
We are a bit light on for international news this week, so it's all domestic.
