Louth rider Hickman came out on top 12 months ago and, having also won in 2015, he’ll be looking to make it a hat-trick.

The 30-year old Lincolnshire rider has had a superb season, winning at the Ulster Grand Prix and picking up the Joey Dunlop Championship at the TT after five podiums.

He also claimed a career-best position of fourth overall in the British Superbike Championship with Smiths Racing, so will go into this weekend’s event as the favourite.
