Who is Wil Hartog?
Wil Hartog is a former Grand Prix motorcycle road racer. In 1977, Hartog became the first Dutchman to win a 500cc Grand Prix when he claimed a victory at the Dutch TT. That victory earned him a ride with the Suzuki factory team as a team-mate to Barry Sheene. Hartog won five Grands Prix during his career. Standing over six feet tall, he was at a disadvantage against his jockey-sized competitors yet he still managed impressive results. With his penchant for wearing all white riding apparel, he was nicknamed the white giant.
