Peter Hickman TT Crash blamed on component failure

Peter Hickman has confirmed that a “component failure” was responsible for the high-speed qualifying crash that ruled him out of this year’s Isle of Man TT. The 14-time TT winner sustained multiple injuries in a 140mph accident from his 8TEN Racing BMW at Kerrowmoar, during the opening lap of the third Superbike and Superstock qualifying session. Hickman suffered broken ribs, vertebrae, a collarbone and a fractured scapula in the incident, which occurred just after the Kerrowmoar left-hand turn. Initial speculation suggested a fairing failure or oil on the track. However, Hickman has revealed that contact between the exhaust and rear tyre caused the accident – the result of a failed exhaust mounting bracket. In a video posted to Instagram, Hickman said: “Sorry it’s taken me a while to give you a little update on my condition, but here it is! It’s been two and a half weeks since I had quite a fast crash at the Isle of Man TT 2025. “Condition wise, I’m not too bad. I’ve got quite a lot of broken bones. I’ve broken my left collarbone, my left scapula and my shoulder blade down the back is in three pieces. I broke three ribs and four vertebrae in my […]

Hickman injured in Isle of Man TT qualifying crash

Fourteen-time Isle of Man TT winner Peter Hickman has been injured in a crash during Friday night’s practice for the race. The 8Ten Racing BMW rider was reported by the TT organisers to be ‘conscious and stable’ following a fall at Kerrowmoar that brought out red flags during the second session of the day. Honda Racing rider Dean Harrison led the practice session away, with Hickman second on his superstock machine. He crashed at Kerrowmoar, a fast left hand corner directly after Ginger Hall, where he fell in last year’s Senior TT while leading the race. He was transported by air ambulance (a standard procedure at the TT) to Noble’s hospital on the Isle of Man, where organisers described his condition as conscious and stable. Hickman’s BMW was smoking slightly when he left the start line on Glencrutchery Road, and initial reports suggest that it continued to emit smoke as he lapped, and his lower fairing looked visibly loose on the TT’s live TV coverage, although it’s unknown at this time if that was a contributing factor to his fall. The fall brought out the red flags in the session immediately, with riders stopped on track before being escorted back […]

Hickman and Todd split from FHO

FHO Racing has announced new plans for the upcoming BSB season, with Peter Hickman and Davey Todd surprisingly not included. FHO will downsize from two bikes to one in 2025, but will stick with the BMW M1000 RR, as it welcomes Ilya Mikhalchik for this year. BritishSuperbike.com says the change comes as FHO team owner Faye Ho “realigns the team’s efforts to pursue further motorsports activities in new markets with BMW Motorrad Motorsport’s support.” More specifically, Ho intends to continue with her support for women in racing, and “push motorsports activities in Asia”. “I am a strong advocate of the British Superbike Championship, one of the most entertaining and competitive series in the world,” she said. “However, with my long-term goals looking to push motorsports activities in Asia, as well as to keep supporting young women with opportunities in racing, I’ve come to realise I cannot fully commit to the previous levels of time that I have given to BSB and road racing since becoming team owner in 2021 with additional commitments I have back at home in Macau. “With the support of BMW Motorrad Motorsport, and my continued passion for BSB, we have altered our approach to run a […]

Peter Hickman and Davey Todd join forces in 2025

Peter Hickman and Davey Todd will join forces in 2025 for the FHO Racing BMW Motorrad team. Todd is moving across from TAS Racing to link up with Faye Ho’s squad for next year’s British Superbike Championship, and road racing commitments. Todd won the national Superstock title this year and is seeking greater honours in 2025. Todd rode the Superstock-spec BMW M 1000 RR this season with TAS Racing so has experience of FHO Racing’s machinery. Hickman will remain with the team for a fourth consecutive year. Todd said: “I’m really excited to be joining the FHO Racing BMW Motorrad team for 2025 and also the Macau Grand Prix this year. It’s a really exciting time to be moving up to the Superbike class; I don’t feel like I got fair shot when I got my first races in the class, but to now have the opportunity to do it with an awesome team, I feel like it’s a great step for me. “I’m just super excited joining the team, I feel like I’m already starting to build a relationship with the guys just with the first few meetings we’ve had.” Hickman said: “I am mega happy to be staying […]
