Peter Hickman is a modern IOM TT legend; in fact, he's one of the best to ever do it, having 14 wins, which puts him in joint 6th place for all-time wins. The fact that the 38-year-old is still racing means we might see him climb the all-time leaderboard, but not this year, as time racing the IOM TT in 2025 came to a brutal halt last Friday.
Hickman fell at Kerrowmoar and was airlifted to Noble’s Hospital with chest, back, shoulder, and facial injuries, as you can see in the picture at the top of this page. But, as bad as they look and sound, these injuries could've been infinitely worse, considering the incident happened at 140 mph.
When you consider some of the recent injuries we've seen from MotoGP accidents, the fact that Hickman is alive is nothing short of a miracle. It serves as a brutal reminder that whether you're one of the greats or just there to compete, the TT doesn't discriminate, should you make a mistake.
