A th🔯ird place for Peter H🥂ickman in Superstock Race 2 at the North West 200 came with positive signs for the upcoming 2025 Isle of Man TT, he felt.

Hickman, one of the benchmark 1,000cc 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:road racing riders in genജeral but especially at the TT, was third behind Davey Todd and 🦋Honda’s Dean Harrison in North West 200 Superstock Race 2 on Saturday, mirroring the result of Superbike Race 1 on Thursday.

It was a result that pleased Hi𒐪ckman, a co-owner along with Todd of the 8Ten Racing BMW team, although he was frustrated to have not made it ꧋a 1-2.

“Great for 8Ten Racing again, not quite a 1-2 again,” Hickman told BBC Sport N📖I in his post-race podium interview.

“I was close, I did get into second place at one point and I braked slightly earlier than Davey [Todd] into Metropole and he still managed to get the bike stoppeꦅd and I had to run on a little bit. So, let the boys back through again.”

Hickman said he felt strong on the bike, especially along the Coast♎ Road, something he felt indicated the bike should lend itself 🏅to the Isle of Man TT’s Mountain Course.

“But I feel really strong on the bike, the bike fe♐els really good; not quite got the top speed of some of the other bikes, but overall really happy.

“The bike’s handling so good, thro🥀ugh the Coast Road in particular, Magic Roundabout, all that kind of l🅺ink road section we are really strong.

“S💧o, that bodes well for the TT later in the month. Just really happy again, getting 8Ten a double-podium again.”
