Bruce Brian Hoani Cribb (born June 27, 1946)[1] is a former speedway rider from New Zealand, who rode in the UK for several teams in a career spanning over twenty years.
Cribb was born in Palmerston North, where he began riding, before joining the Poole Pirates in 1965. In 1969 and 1970, he represented New Zealand in tests with England, and in 1971, he rode for Great Britain in matches with Poland. He won the New Zealand Championship in 1972, and was a member of the New Zealand team that won the World Team Cup in 1979.
From the 1970s to 1988, and again in the mid 1990s, he competed in ice speedway events and rode in three World ice speedway finals.
