Ivan was my first sporting hero. I was fortunate that when I first started going to Belle Vue was when Ivan rode there. To call him a legend doesn't really quite cover it. Enjoy your retirement Ivan.

if the final is at Vojens then well worth keeping clear of if it's anything like the dross that was served up at this years qualifying round there.

i remember being in the pits that evening and seeing his leg how he rode the following week was a miracle let alone nearly retain his title.Dont know if anyone else recalls but that night the team had been presented with team leathers they were silver coloured funny enough i dont ever recall seeing them again!
