Fourteen-time TT winner Peter Hickman finished fourth in the Daytona 200 race on Saturday.

Held partly on the banked track of the iconic Daytona Speedway in Florida, Hickman brought home his PHR Performance Triumph 35 seconds down on the top three.

Hickman said after the event: ‘Mega race today!

‘Really happy to have finished P4 having had battles at the front throughout and even leading the race momentarily.

‘My bike ran perfectly throughout huge thanks to the team and sponsors for making everything happen.’

The TT’s most successful rider, Michael Dunlop, finished ninth on his Milwaukee/MD Racing Ducati V2, marking his return to the event for the first time since 2021 when he finished 11th.
