After crashing during the opening round of the Isle of Man TT qualifying session on Friday evening, Peter Hickman was taken to a hospital by Airmed helicopter.
The race organisers claimed that the Lincolnshire racer was “conscious and stable” when he came off at the Kerrowmoar section of the circuit.
The 38-year-old 14-time TT champion will have her condition checked out of Noble’s Hospital on the island, according to the organisers, who added that additional condition updates would be made in the coming days.
Following the incident, red flags were displayed to halt the qualifying session, and the scheduled schedule was ultimately postponed due to incoming rain.
Hickman and team-mate Davey Todd both own and manage the 8TEN Racing team for the 1000cc races, and he also leads the other solo races for the PHR Racing team.
Hickman finished third in the Supersport leaderboard and had set the third-fastest time of the week in the Superbike class and second-fastest time in the Superstock category in Friday afternoon’s qualifying.
With a speed of 136.358 mph, which he set in 2023, he currently holds the TT Mountain Course record.
