I haven't ever spoken to Peter Hickman personally but he comes across as very level headed.

When asked if his goal for TT2015 was to do a 130mph lap it would have been easy for him to say "yes", after all he only had .9mph to add. He didn't though - he said "No, my goal is to finish every race I start and have fun". That doesn't strike me as a man who's gunning for lap times above all else.

Conditions on Friday afternoon were obviously very favourable to doing fast laps which no doubt contributed to him (and others) increasing their fastest laps considerably too.
