Peter Hickman vows to quit North West 200 after “rules bent for certain people”
Peter Hickman says ꦦthe 2025 North West 200 was “probably” his last.

Peter Hickman has said that the 2025 North West 200 was “probably my last,” following controversy in the second Superbike race of the week at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:road race on the north coast of Northern Ireland.
Hickman’s 8Ten Racing teammate and co-owner Davey Todd was le🍸ading Superbike Race 2 until the final lap, when he was passed by Michael Dunlop.
Dunlop had run on twice on the first lap. The first of those was at✅ Ma🦋ther’s chicane and the second was at Metropole.
It was the Mather’s run-on that caused the controversy, though. Dunlop, unlike Hickman, didn’t stop and put his foot down when he ran through the chicane. 💜The Ballymoney rider said after that race that, because he didn’t go through the stop box, he didn’t need to stop and put his foot 🎃down before rejoining the race.
Peter Hickman vows not to return to North West 200
Hickman disagreed when he spoke after the race, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:and said the rule is “dead simple”: that you have to stop and put your foot down in the stop box whenever you cut a chicane, and failing ⛦to do so means a 10-second penalty.
Dunlop was initially awarded a penalty during the race, and was i🥀nitially classified third, but it was rescinded 🌸afterwards making him the winner.
It was a decision which frustrated Hickm💟an, who felt t🎀he decision to not penalise Dunlop was “not fair”.
“A bit of a sad end really, and there’s a lot of stuff going on, a lot of things happened that shouldn’t have happened, so that’ll probably be my last ever North West unfortunately,” Hickman told the Belfast News Letter following Superbike Race 📖3 at the North West, which he retired from with a technical problem on the first lap.
“We’re not going to be here and be treated the🔯 way we’re being t🐷reated, and rules being bent for certain people but not others.
“It’s not rﷺight, it’s not fair, so that’s it♊ I’m afraid.”
