Jan Birkmyre both manages and competes with the TORQ Performance Track Cycling team and if she didn’t think the 37 World Masters and 3 Elite National titles were indicative enough of her abilities, her recognition in the Daily Telegraph this Saturday should certainly draw a line under it all…
TORQ have had a longstanding association with Jan over many years, but back in 2014, we decided to put a track team together consisting of 4 very talented female track cyclists, Melanie Sneddon, Louise Haston, Maddy Moore and of course Jan. Without Jan’s enthusiasm and professionalism, the team would never have got off the ground, and since its launch, they have topped podium after podium. The infographic below summarises the team’s performances this year alone.
In the recent World Masters Championships, if TORQ were a nation, it would have ranked 4th on the overall medals table, or 2nd on the Female medals table, behind only Team GB. The TORQ Performance Track Cycling Team took 9 World titles at these championships a few weeks back – quite staggering!

Well done Jan and to the other girls on the team, we’re very proud of you and a huge thank you as ever to all of our sponsors, without whom none of this would be possible:
