**Peter Hickman Announces 2026 Farewell Tour: “One Last Ride” Marks the End of a Racing Era**
Peter Hickman, the English motorcycle racing icon and multiple Isle of Man TT winner, has officially announced his 2026 farewell tour, aptly titled **“One Last Ride.”** The emotional announcement comes just months after a serious crash during the 2025 Isle of Man TT that left Hickman hospitalized and forced him to miss the remainder of the event. Now, he’s preparing to close out a storied career that has captivated the road racing world.
Hickman’s racing journey began in 1984, when he first threw a leg over a bike, inspired by his father, former racer Dave Hickman. Since then, he has carved out a name as one of the most fearless and technically skilled road racers in history. With 14 TT victories to his name and countless podiums in British Superbikes and international events, Hickman has become a beloved figure in motorsport.
The “One Last Ride” tour, set to begin in spring 2026, will take Hickman to iconic tracks across the UK and Ireland, including a special non-competitive lap at the Isle of Man TT to bid farewell to the legendary Mountain Course that made him a household name. Fan meet-and-greets, behind-the-scenes documentaries, and exclusive memorabilia releases are also planned.
“This isn’t just a goodbye—it’s a celebration of everything we’ve built together,” Hickman said in a heartfelt video message to fans. “I’ve had the privilege of living my dream, and now it’s time to thank the people who made it possible.”
Though stepping away from competitive racing, Hickman hinted he’ll remain involved in the sport as a mentor and team ambassador. One thing’s certain: Peter Hickman’s legacy will roar on long after the final lap.
