Tre Whyte (born 20 October 1993) is a British male former BMX rider. In 2014 he claimed bronze in the 2014 UCI BMX World Championships after having to self-fund his attendance due to not being selected by the British Cycling World Championship team. He competed in the time trial event at the 2015 UCI BMX World Championships.[1] He was not selected for the 2016 World Championships, despite being the British National Champion, and was unable to self-fund his attendance due to rule changes.[2][3] He retired from competition in 2020. During his career he was supported by the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust.[4] Following his retirement from BMX, Whyte took up scooter racing. His brother Kye White also competes for Britain.[5]
