Peter Hickman has confirmed his commitment to continue his PHR team's campaign on the international stage of the Sportbike World Championship. Following a successful debut that yielded a race win and six podium finishes, Hickman enters the upcoming season with renewed optimism. Outperforming the official factory team, CM Racing, has provided significant satisfaction for the 39-year-old as he prepares for the 2027 season.
The road-racing specialist has decided to maintain faith in his current rider duo, Fenton Seabright and Harrison Dessoy. "We wanted to fight at the very front, and we achieved podiums and a race win, which is promising for the start of 2027," said the Englishman. He expressed full confidence that the team, the riders, and the machines would work in harmony to deliver another exciting season in 2027.
Seabright, who faced a lean start to his campaign, found his stride from the Most round onwards, consistently battling within the top five. "The start and end of the season were difficult, but what a fantastic year it has been! My season showed how we have developed and strengthened as a team," the 24-year-old stated. He extended his gratitude to Hickman for providing the opportunity to demonstrate what the team is truly capable of achieving on the world stage.
Harrison Dessoy, experiencing his maiden world championship season, successfully navigated the challenge of unknown circuits and new competitors to secure two podiums and finish 12th in the standings. "At the start, I didn't have high expectations regarding results or championship position. However, achieving two podiums and top-10 finishes in my debut is a fantastic achievement," noted the 21-year-old. He emphasized the incredible work performed by the PHR Performance team throughout the year.
Hickman remains focused on the future, noting that while new challenges await, the stability of his current rider lineup remains the cornerstone of the team's strategy. By leveraging the data and experience gained during the 2026 season, PHR is now prioritizing technical refinements to ensure they remain strong contenders for the 2027 season ahead.
