Peter Hickman confirms North West 200 plans after FHO Racing BMW exit

Peter Hickman has confirmed he will still be racing at Saturday's North West 200 despite FHO Racing BMW's withdrawal from the event.

FHO pulled out of the international road race on Thursday night after Hickman and Josh Brookes were excluded from the Briggs Equipment Superstock race due to a technical infringement.

It emerged the FHO team's M1000RR bikes have homologated carbon fibre wheels which are not allowed in the regulations.

The team's exit has caused quite a bit of controversy, and ended British Superbike star Brookes' participation in the event.

However, fellow BSB rider Hickman is set to race on Saturday in both the Supersport and Supertwin races.

He will be competing for different teams in those two classes.

The North West 200 organisers tweeted on Friday: "Peter Hickman has confirmed that he will be racing his PHR Performance Yamaha in The Supertwin class and his Trooper Beer Triumph in the Supersport class at Saturday's FonaCAB and Nicholl Oils North West 200."
