Racing background

Hickman at Snetterton in 2009

Hickman took his first BSB race win at Cadwell Park in 2014. After starting the season without a ride he rode for Tsingtao WK Kawasaki for a single round before joining the RAF Reserves Honda team for the rest of the season at Knockhill.[3]

He currently holds the record as the fastest ever newcomer at the Isle of Man TT,[4] with a fastest average lap speed of 129.104 mph (207.773 km/h),[3] and a race-average speed of 125.38 mph (201.78 km/h).[5] He prepared for his TT race debut by travelling to the Island and driving 70 laps of the near-38 mile course in a hire car, and by watching videos. Hickman's father Dave was a Manx Grand Prix winner and entered two TTs.[3][6]

Hickman achieved his first international road race win at the 2015 Ulster Grand Prix, winning the feature race ahead of Conor Cummins.[7]

Hickman clinched his first victory at the Isle of Man TT in a close race from Michael Dunlop and Dean Harrison, breaking Ian Hutchinson's lap record twice in the 2018 Superstock event.[8] Hickman won the Senior TT, raising the absolute lap record to 135.452 mph (217.989 km/h) on the final lap, winning from Dean Harrison with Manxman Conor Cummins in third.[9]

Macau Grand Prix

Hickman won the last race of the 2015 season in November, the Macau Grand Prix, riding a Briggs Equipment/RAF Reserves BMW S1000RR.[10]

In November 2016, he retained his Macau Grand Prix title, after he worked his way through from fourth position, winning by just 0.533 seconds from eight-time winner Michael Rutter.[11]

In the 2017 event, Hickman was placed second, in front of event team-mate Michael Rutter, both riding Bathams BMWs.[12]

In 2018 Hickman won the Macau event for a third time, riding his BMW S1000RR prepared by Smiths Racing for Aspire Ho, ahead of Rutter (Bathams Aspire Ho Honda RC213V-S) and Martin Jessop (PBM Ducati).
