Description
Ivan Mauger: The Man Behind the Myth Renowned speedway historian and journalist John Chaplin sheds light on the complex personality behind the iconic motorcycle racing champion. Through exclusive insights from opponents, friends, enemies, business associates, fans, rivals, and his own family, this book reveals the real Ivan Mauger - a man driven by uncompromising determination and naked ambition. Mauger's remarkable achievements on the track are well-documented, with 15 world titles in speedway and long track racing. However, it is the lesser-known aspects of his life that make for fascinating reading. This book provides a unique perspective on Mauger's career, exploring the highs and lows of his journey from small-town New Zealand to worldwide acclaim. By examining the people who knew him best, Chaplin offers a nuanced portrait of Ivan Mauger - a man whose dedication to speedway racing elevated the sport to new heights, yet also made him both admired and feared by those around him.
