Peter Hickman
Peter was born on 8 April 1987 in Burton on Trent and lived in Louth.
Hickman took his first BSB race win at Cadwell Park in 2014. After starting the season without a ride he rode for Tsingtao WK Kawasaki for a single round before joining the RAF Reserves Honda team for the rest of the season at Knockhill.[7]
He currently holds the record as the fastest ever newcomer at the Isle of Man TT,[8] with a fastest average lap speed of 129.104 mph (207.773 km/h),[7] and a race-average speed of 125.38 mph (201.78 km/h).[9] He prepared for his TT race debut by travelling to the Island and driving 70 laps of the near-38-mile course in a hire car, and by watching videos. Hickman’s father Dave was a Manx Grand Prix winner and entered two TTs.[7][10]
Hickman achieved his first international road race win at the 2015 Ulster Grand Prix, winning the feature race ahead of Conor Cummins.[11]
Hickman clinched his first victory at the Isle of Man TT in a close race from Michael Dunlop and Dean Harrison, breaking Ian Hutchinson’s lap record twice in the 2018 Superstock event.[12] Hickman won the Senior TT, raising the absolute lap record to 135.452 mph (217.989 km/h) on the final lap
