Ivan Mauger - no contest.

Peter Craven was my hero, but I never saw him ride. I became a Speedway fan in 1964. Sadly Peter had passed away by then.

3 riders of the modern era that stand out are zmarzlik who rides like he is stretching his throttle cables but very tidy and smooth, sayfutinow who rides with his body very upright on the bike even at the start gate and bewley who you can tell he has a motox background because the way he rides the bottom of the fence like a berm in motox

Henka Gustafsson for me. His balance on the bike was amazing.

At the opposite end of the spectrum was Bo Petersen who was all legs.

I'm sure that's what Jem Doncaster and the Witches fans thought at the Oxford leg of the 1985 KO Cup final.

My all-time favourite rider, but 'most stylish' might be a bit of a stretch, there was always a hint of unpredictability about his riding which is probably the antithesis of 'stylishness'.
