So sorry to here the passing of Ivan Mauger, truly one of the greatest speedway riders to grace the shale. I was a mechanic to Brian Maxted who rode for Wolverhampton and Sheffield back in the 60's and 70's so we came across Ivan on many occasions. He was a hard rider but fair. He once rode at Liden in Kent on the grass against Brian. In true Ivan style he gated first and led for 4 of the 6 laps when Brian then passed him and won. In true Mauger style he congratulated Brian in the pits afterwards commenting that he never thought he would be caught and passed. A sad loss.
