Peter Hickman vows to quit North West 200 after “rules bent for certain people”
Peter Hickman stated that the 2025 North West 200 was likely his final one due to controversy in the second Superbike race of the week in Northern Ireland.
His teammate Davey Todd was leading until Michael Dunlop overtook him on the final lap, despite Dunlop running off track twice during the race.
The controversy arose from Dunlop’s failure to stop and put his foot down after cutting a chicane, leading to a penalty initially but then being rescinded, which Hickman deemed unfair.
Hickman expressed his frustration with the situation and vowed not to return to the North West 200 due to feeling mistreated and rules being selectively enforced.
Following technical issues in Superbike Race 3, Hickman concluded that the circumstances at the event did not align with fairness and decided it was time to walk away.
