It was a rather later than expected start to the 2016 season, with several races cancelled due to the weather, but Melanie finally got rolling with real style. 

TORQ gel has just achieved the accolade of ‘Best on test’ in this week’s Cycling Weekly magazine, beating all of the other major brands…

Cycling Weekly Magazine said some lovely things about our gel this Thursday including:

“If you’re looking to consume multiple gels over a ride, TORQ’s cannot be beaten…”

“TORQ sets itself apart further with a selection of unorthodox flavours, which hit the mark when it comes to taste. 

The ever popular Ellesmere event, the Shropshire Triathlon (a favourite with TORQ) has a long and illustrious history, indeed an Olympian still holds the course record, and what a result Sam achieved in her first race for the team…

This race also doubled as a qualifier for the European Triathlon Championships to be held in 2017. 

Most of the TORQ MTB team took to the hills in the 2nd round of the Scott MTB Marathon in Rhayader, North Wales, and once again there was plenty of black and orange at the pointy end…

There are five Scott MTB Marathons this year, run on courses all over the country, but Rhayader is an ‘old faithful’ and awash with climbs and testing singletrack – well it is North Wales! 

After 4 Silver European Championship medals (2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014) there really was only one goal in Sigulda, Latvia last weekend; Sally wanted Gold: Badly.  

This was a great weekend for Phil in Monte Gordo, Portugal, his 1st time pulling on a GB vest for the Cross Country Relay, but he knew it wasn’t going to be a walk in the park. 

Mel puts in an impressive ride to finish thrid fastest and 6th on standard at these championships…

This year the highly competitive VTTA 10 Mile TT Championships were to be held near Nottingham.  

With an eye on the next Commonwealth Games, Louise knew the time had come again to put down benchmark times for the squad. 

Friday 13th May, a beautiful sunny day, saw Sally lining up for the 3 day Belgian Mountainbike Challenge which kicked off in the stunning Ardennes. 

The TORQ Fuelled Whyte Bikes Enduro Team were in action at one of the UK Premier Enduro Races of 2016, the Tweedlove International, Tweed Valley, Scotland, a prime riding destination, attracting a field of some of the world’s best riders, so the team had their work cut out over the 4 days of practice and racing. 

Maddy took to the line at this historic event and pulled it together for a good finish. 

TORQ Performance Tri Team’s Iain Robertson put in a solid performance at the British Sprint Triathlon to take victory in Age Group and was right up there in the overall classification…

Big Cow Sprint at Emberton Park for the British AG Sprint Champs was Iain’s first race of the season, so would be a good test to see where he was at with his training and an opportunity to try out some new kit from our generous sponsors.
