Well done Phil. Timing of DD events (coinciding with RTL, loads of work and holidays etc) has meant that I haven't been able to attend a single round this year.

But I have followed it with interest and I've been quietly pleased that an all round good guy who I ride with on the road (and at Cadwell) has been so successful and won the championship in fine style.

Many congratulations Fil, your an inspiration to us all !!

I have you to thank for me getting involved with DD right from the off with the offering of a ride on your spare bike. You've helped me every part of the way, be-it entering races to comparing track technicalities.

Your gonna be awesome on that 620! and that yellow No2 is still gonna be at the sharp-end by what I've seen.

Well done

Andy

Well done mate, that's an impressive performance you put together this year.

(and thanks for not doing Cadwell btw )

[dickieducati]

yeah well done phil, cant add anymore about your riding skills etc etc than has already been said. looking forward to being on 'level' terms with you next year. give me something to aim for!

although your riding was great, the highlight of my racing year will still be the 'strudel' incident from assen. priceless.

Well done Phil, can't say anything more than has already been said, except good luck for next year, good luck to Kelly etc.

Hope to get to some of the races next year to support you both

Yeh well done :0

And retirement....from 583 or from racing ?

[domski]

Congratulations Phil, you've been bl%dy awesome all season and if it wasn't for mixed grids you'd have been even more dominant (IMHO).

I really do hope that you stick with racing in 2007, coz I think we can make DD a real specticle next season - if I can keep up!!

Big respect to you dude.

[Dougducati]

Well played mate. You certainly know how to hustle the old 583 around a track. It has been great to watch. Any tips you can pass on to me will always be gratefully received!!

Good luck to Kelly at Cadwell.
