Like many of my generation, Ivan Mauger was a household name. He epitomised all that many of us love about this great sport. Daring, courageous and focused, he never lost his will to win but had time for his fans too. I was lucky to see him ride at a few venues in the UK and was in awe of the man. Watching him on the television only made my enthusiasm for the sport all the greater. Seeing such epic battles with the likes of Olsen, Collins and many other opponents was an art form in itself. We wish his family well and our thoughts and blessings go out to them. Thanks for the memories as they are ones I’ll always cherish. God bless
