Smiths Racing BMW has confirmed Peter Hickman has been taken to hospita💎l as a precaution after falling ill following qualifying at Thruxton and is a doubt for today’s races.

Hi𒅌ckman, who claimed his last Bennetts British Superbike championship race win 12 months ago at the Hampshire circuit, is receiving treatment at Winchester h🧔ospital after feeling ill after Saturday’s action.

Hickman will miss Sunday’s morning warm-up session but the team is hopeful he will be fit to return to action in both races. The British rider qualified 11^th for race one at Thruxton while he ended Friday p🐻ractice with the fasꦡtest lap time.

The Smiths Raci🌼ng BMW rider made the dash back from the Suzuka 8 Hours this week along with fellow BSB riders Leon Haslam, Bradley Ray, Sylva⭕in Barrier, Christian Iddon and Michael Laverty.

Hick🐓man is midway through a busy schedule of five consecutive race weekends which started last month at the BSB Brands Hatch round followed by last week’s Suzuka 8 Hours. After the BSB Thruxton round, Hickman is due to compete at the Ulster GP for his final high-profile road racing meeting of the year before returning to BSB action at his home round at Cadwell Park at the end of August.

A final decision on Hickman’s participat🤪ion in the Thruxton rac༺e weekend is expected ahead of race one.
