Peter Hickman Hospitalized With Serious Injuries After Isle of Man TT Crash

Peter Hickman, a 14-time Isle of Man TT winner and the fastest rider ever to lap the course, crashed during the opening lap of Friday evening's qualifying session for the 2025 event at Kerrowmoar. He was reported as conscious, stable, and in good spirits but sustained chest, back, shoulder, and facial injuries, leading to his airlift to Noble’s Hospital for treatment. Hickman's crash has forced him to withdraw from all races at this year's TT, disappointing fans and impacting the much-anticipated rivalry among top competitors including teammates Davey Todd and Michael Dunlop. The incident brought out red flags, and adverse weather conditions caused delays and cancellations of qualifying sessions. Hickman’s injury ends his hopes of adding to his record-setting career, where he holds the lap record at 136.358 mph. TT organisers extended their best wishes to Hickman and other injured riders, while praising the professionalism of marshals and medical teams.
