Ivan Mauger

Who is Ivan Mauger?

Ivan Gerald Mauger, OBE, is a retired motorcycle speedway rider. He won a record six World Championships, a feat equalled only with the inclusion of the Speedway GP Championships by Tony Rickardsson of Sweden who won one World Final and five GP Championships. Mauger rode for several British teams – Wimbledon Dons, Newcastle Diamonds, Belle Vue Aces, Exeter Falcons, and the Hull Vikings.

Ivan Mauger currently lives with Raye, his wife of over 50 years, on Australia's Gold Coast. He is an active supporter of speedway, attending many meetings throughout the Australian season, as well as the Speedway Grand Prix of New Zealand, held at the Western Springs Stadium in Auckland, though in recent times he has made fewer public appearances. As a proud Kiwi, Mauger is also an avid supporter of New Zealand's rugby union team, the legendary All Blacks, and proudly flies their flag at his home whenever they play an international match.
