Fourteen-time Isle of Man TT winner Peter Hickman has been injured in a crash during Friday night’s practice for the race
Fourteen-time Isle of Man TT winner Peter Hickman was injured in a crash during Friday night’s practice for the race, reported as ‘conscious and stable’ by TT organisers.
The crash occurred at Kerrowmoar during the second session of the day while Hickman was on his superstock BMW, with Honda Racing’s Dean Harrison leading the practice.
After the incident, he was airlifted to Noble’s hospital on the Isle of Man for treatment, and his condition was described as conscious and stable.
Initial observations noted some smoke coming from Hickman’s BMW during the session, and his lower fairing appeared loose, though it’s unclear if it contributed to the fall.
The red flags came out, halting the session, and riders were led back to the paddock by TT marshals due to the crash.
Inclement weather further disrupted the session’s plans as rain showers hit the west coast of the island, forcing a premature end to the day’s events.
