Macau Grand Prix: Hickman to make first road race appearance since Isle of Man TT crash
Peter Hickman and Davey Todd head a 20-strong field which will contend this year's Macau motorcycle grand prix in November.The 57th running of the event will mark 14-time Isle of Man TT winner Hickman's return to road racing after his qualifying crash at the Manx event at the end of May.The Lincolnshire rider suffered multiple fractures in the incident at the Kerrowmoar section of the circuit.The 38-year-old has since returned to action on circuits in the British Superbike Championship.Hickman has won the Macau Grand Prix on four occasions - in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2023.He will ride under the Zeeco BMW banner, along with his regular 8TEN Racing team-mate Todd.Yorkshireman Todd was awarded the victory at last year's meeting when the result was based on the qualifying leaderboard because the race had to be cancelled because of poor weather.Other leading names on the entry include 2022 winner, Finland's Erno Kostamo, who rides a BMW, along with Jackson Racing Honda pilot Paul Jordan from Northern Ireland.Michael Evans, Rob Hodson, Marcus Simpson and New Zealand newcomer Mitch Rees ride Hondas, with Sam West, Phil Crowe, David Johnson and Michael Sweeney among the other BMW entrants.Record nine-time Macau winner Michael Rutter misses the race as he continues to recover from injuries sustained in a crash during the second Supertwins race at the TT in June.
