2024 NW200 & FHO Racing

[slopes]

Apparently, due to logistical reasons and the proximity to the Oulton Park BSB round, FHO are not entering the NW200 this year.
This is a blow for Hickman and Brookes pre TT preparations although Hickman will be there riding under his PHR banner in the Supersport category

Peter will be running his own bikes in Superstock, Supersport and Supertwin clases at the NW200.

Given Hickman rides the FHO BMW in BSB it's not as much a blow as it might be to riders who don't do British Championships and only ride a few events a year.

I suspect this is due to the fallout and protests last time.

Not according to FHO, although let's be fair if they've thrown a hissy fit they are hardly going to admit to it are they?

Deano or Mickey D for the win then unless Glenn Irwin goes back

I don't know, TAS signed Davey Todd for the roads so he won't be riding for them, maybe on a private bike.

Update via Crash.net

According to Hickamn, he wants the regs for the NW200 brought into line with the TT. This suggests that despite FHO's press release, this has all the hallmarks of following on from 2023, to be specific the furore around wheels and homologation.
For those who don't know or who couldn't care less, FHO run carbon wheels on their M1000RR and carbon wheels are banned at the NW200. Easy you think, switch to ally wheels. Nope, then the bike is not homologated and therefore cannot compete.

Madness but rules are rules

According to BSN, the organisers are doing everything they can to source him a ride but he has said if no ride is forth coming he will retire
