Hickman impresses in Thursday practice

Thirty-one-year old tops the pile on the big bikes

Thursday evening's TT practice session turned out to be a good one for Peter Hickman.

The 31-year-old, who's searching for his maiden TT win in 2018, was quickest of the Superbikes, registering a 132.81mph on his Smiths Racing BMW.

That's 0.34mph quicker than his official fastest time, and Hickman was also second quickest on Thursday in the Superstock class.

Australian rider David Johnson topped the pile on the stockers, with a 129.20mph lap.
