WembleyLion 412 Posted April 15, 2018 A truly great Speedway rider and a wonderful example to others. I was fortunate to watch him ride throughout the 70’s and win his 4th, 5th and 6th World titles! R.I.P. Ivan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aces51 2,778 Posted April 15, 2018 Sad news. Having watched Speedway for over 60 years Ivan was, without doubt, the best rider I have seen and his record speaks for itself. My thoughts are with his family and those closest to him. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hodgy 976 Posted April 15, 2018 Very sad we have lost the biggest name in World Speedway. Speedway = Ivan Mauger. The ultimate legend - RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BWitcher 12,453 Posted April 16, 2018 Very very sad to have just seen this on Social Media. Ivan won the very first speedway race I ever saw, I was only 5 so didn't really know who he was, but was told 'the guy in the red helmet' is the best. I was hooked from then on. RIP 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martinmauger 584 Posted April 16, 2018 Very sad news indeed, deepest sympathy to the Mauger family. Difficult to know what to say that hasn't been said already, except Ivan Mauger was The Best and is still a Hull Vikings legend. RIP Ivan.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
