Ivan became world champion when I first went to speedway and was my favourite rider. Will always be remembered as one of if not the greatest riders of all time. Rest in peace Ivan.

Sincere condolences to Ivans family and friends , such a sad loss of a iconic individual who was the reason that I caught the bug and wanted to ride after watching the world final on TV back in the seventies. God bless you Ivan and thanks for the memories.

Ivan's mother told me one day that when she took him to the speedway as a little boy he'd be watching the races then tug on her skirt and say, I will be World Champion won't I mum ?
She'd pat his head and answer Yes Ivan of course you will !

No possibly or arguably about it Ivan Mauger is the greatest speedway rider ever. In an age when all my schoolmates wanted to be George Best or Bobby Charlton I wanted to be Ivan Mauger. Ivan is my greatest sporting hero and I am so saddened by his passing. My condolences to Ivan"s family. The great man has passed on but for me the memories will live on forever. RIP Ivan Mauger.

Sorry to hear the sad passing of Ivan. I followed Ivan's career as far back as when Ivan raced in Christchurch New Zealand. A true legend. My condolences go out Kym and his family. RIP Ivan.
