Peter Hickman vows to quit North West 200 after “rules bent for certain people”
Peter Hickman says the 2025 North West 200 was “ꦉprobably”♚ 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澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:road race on the north coast of Northern Ireland.
Hickman’s 8Ten Racing teammate and co-owner Davey Todd was leading Superbike Race 2 until the f🌄inal lap, when he was passed by Michael Dunlop.
Dunlop had run on twice on the first lap. The first of those was at Mather’s ch🌺icane 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 𒀰go 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澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:and said the ru🍨le i﷽s “dead simple”: that you have to stop and put your foot down in the stop box whenever you cut a ch𓂃icane, and failing to do so means a 10-second penalty.
Dunlop was initially awarde🦄d a penalty during the race, and was initially classified third, but it was rescinded afterwards𒉰 making him the winner.
It was a decision which frustrated Hickman, who feꦏlt the decision t𒁏o 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 h🥂e retired from with a technical problem on the first lap.
“We’r𓆏e not going to be here☂ and be treated the way we’re being treated, and rules being bent for certain people but not others.
“It’s not right, it🌞’s not fair, so that’s it I’m afraid.”
