Peter Hickman has revealed🌌 the latest stage of his recovery from injuries sustained at the Isle of Man TT.

Hickman was hurt in♏ the final qualifying session of the TT, hospitalised although he remained conscious.

He suffered chest, back, shou🧸lder and facial injuries but re-emerged into the TT paddock, in a wheelchair, sporting a black eye among other obvious damage.

Hickman has now u𝕴ploaded social media photos of his recovery proces꧑s, joking about the similarity to comic book character Bane.

From inside a hyperbari♍c chamber, Hickman wrote: “Doing my best Bane impression?!

“Still on the IOM and doing the hyperbaric chamber twice a day to get repaired and back on ওa bike ASAP.

“Thanks for all the messages and support from everyone, on꧙wards and upwards!”

A hyperbaric chambe🍰r enables a patient to b🍸reathe 100% oxygen within a pressurised environment.

The body is then able to absorb much moꦅre oxygen into the blood, which can fast-track recovery from injury.

It⛄ is a metho♉d used by athletes from various sports. Recently, Jonathan Rea was spotted inside a hyperbaric chamber as he recovered from a foot injury.

Hickman is a 14-time TT champion who never got t🤪he opportunity to add to his race win tally🍒.

His road racing season has been tumultuous. Firstly, FHO Racing fell apart forcing Hickman and Davey Todd to consider new plans for the TT and for the British Superbike Champi♊onship.

Hickman✤ and T💦odd co-founded 8TEN Racing with support from BMW Motorrad.

But Hickman’s TT ♐ended prematurely due to the injuries sustained in his crash.

There is no timescale on his 🦂comeback from in༺jury but it is clear that Hickman is trying to speed up the process.
