IVAN MAUGER: THE WILL TO WIN THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY With Martin Rogers IVAN Mauger is more than the outstanding individual performer in speedway. He can also point to hugely successful partnerships on and off the track. His latest ‘best pairs’ partner is award-wining journalist, historian and former promoter Martin Rogers who is co-authoring Ivan’s eagerly-awaited autobiography. Martin has written and/or edited 19 sports books and collaborated with other former speedway champions including Barry Briggs, Bruce Penhall and Jason Crump. As a highly regarded journalist and administrator during the ‘Mauger years’ and now as a friend and fellow Gold Coast resident, he is outstandingly qualified to help bring Ivan’s unique life story to speedway fans worldwide.

IVAN MAUGER: THE WILL TO WIN THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY   To be published in July 2010 IVAN Mauger is a champion who has lived his life surrounded by champions. It is fitting, then, that Jason Crump, the reigning world speedway champion, should have jumped at the opportunity to put pen to paper in tribute to the six-time title winner. Jason, whose 2009 Grand Prix series victory was the third of his career, is contributing a heartfelt foreword to Ivan’s new autobiography The Will To Win which will be published in July. The Australian superstar, who has benefited from Mauger’s friendship, experience and advice, describes the all-conquering Kiwi as ‘unquestionably the greatest speedway rider ever’. ‘Ivan taught me the skills to focus on my mental preparation and these techniques are world-beaters,” he said. Echoing Jason’s words of introduction is champion journalist and administrator Peter Oakes. director of speedway and newly appointed co-promoter of Peterborough Panthers, who places his personal spin on the achievements of Ivan. The two have been friends and colleagues since the 1960s and Peter is uniquely qualified to talk about the sport’s most-decorated rider. He was his manager and business associate for many years and collaborated with Ivan on several books. “It would hard for anyone to put forward a convincing caser against him being classified as the greatest of all time,” he said.
