Cadwell BSB: Still-ill Hickman moves into Showdown

Smiths BMW's Peter Hickman was still suffering from the kidney infection that saw him hospitalised at Thruxton but the Lincolnshire rider shook it off and climbed into Showdown contention at Cadwell's Bennetts British Superbike round yesterday.

Hickman secured seventh and fourth-places finished to shift into sixth place at the expense of Danny Buchan and now has three weeks off to get fully fit for Silverstone, where the top-six shootdown spaces will be decided.

“It’s been a pretty good weekend and although we’re still struggling a bit with grip and I’m still a long way short of being at full fitness, fourth and seventh place finishes are a pretty good set of results especially as I’ve now moved into sixth place overall and into one of the Showdown positions," said Hickman.

"Race one wasn’t too bad as the safety car period gave me a bit of a breather but the second felt more like two races and at half race distance I was beginning to flag a little.

"It was hard to keep my concentration, so I just tried to stay relaxed and hit all my markers. I kept fourth place until the end and now I’m in the top six, I’ll be doing everything I can to stay there.”
