Hickman To Compete In The Daytona 200
T
he Triumph factory-support-
ed PHR Performance Team
will head to the USA in March to
tackle the Daytona 200, with Pe-
ter Hickman and Richard Cooper
setting their sights on clinching
another victory with Triumph's
Street Triple 765 RS.
Hickman's PHR Performance
Team will be preparing two
Street Triple 765 RS bikes in the
UK, with the official support of
Triumph. Now in its 82nd year,
the Daytona 200 runs from
March 7-9 at Daytona Interna
-
tional Speedway, Florida.
Hickman has long been keen
to race in the Daytona 200,
while also serving as a valu-
able chance for more track time
aboard the Triumph machine
that he'll compete on at the Isle
of Man TT.
"The Daytona 200 is a race
that I've not only watched for
many years but also always
wanted to compete in," Hickman
said. "To finally get everything in
place to run not only myself but
also 'Coopes' as the official Tri
-
umph entry is absolutely amaz-
ing, and I cannot wait! We're
running the same bikes we'll be
running at the Isle of Man TT
this year, so it gives us a good
platform for extra testing."
"I am mega excited to be re
-
turning to the Daytona 200," said
Cooper. "The last time I raced
here was back in 2008, when I
finished fifth in the main race.
This year, I'm returning with Tri
-
umph and the PHR Performance
Team on the Street Triple 765
RS I believe that with this team
and this bike, we are capable of
achieving top honors!"
