I thought there might have been a round of applause or some kind of recognition of the passing of the great Ivan Mauger, unless I missed it.
Even though he passed away some three weeks earlier.
So after a near 3 week break we have Speedway back at Derwent Park when the Comets take on one of their oldest rivals the Bandits from Berwick.
Workington track their new rider in Bradley Wilson Dean and the Comets should prove to be to strong for the visitors.
Some lovely memories of Ivan from Peter Collins and Alan Wilkinson in this weeks Star, the overriding theme seems to be the bike preparation they gained from the great man.
Both home meetings at Workington this season have been far better as regards getting the meeting over with as little delay as possible, long may it continue
