Mike Cotty is an elite, endurance cyclist who has excelled in a vast number of different cycling disciplines.  

Bontrager 24/12 is an event which is now in its 8th year and has definitely established itself as one of the biggest 12 & 24 hour events in the UK.  

This race has some great history including being the venue for the 2002 Commonwealth games and has become a truly iconic race. 

With rather inclement weather, Eleanor Haresign braved the conditions, fights with buses and the local residents (sheep) to win the Aberfeldy middle distance triathlon, which also doubled as the Scottish Championships! 

James has completed this race on and off since 2005, having won the event twice and having always being on the podium, he had high hopes of a good result. 

An ‘Australian invasion’ was the term used by British Cycling to refer to the arrival of former TORQ Australia supported athletes, now riding for Trek World Racing. 

The 3rd round of the British XC Series saw the series return to Shropshire for a 2nd year at a venue local to TORQ HQ, Hopton Wood, on what was arguably the riders’ favourite course of the 2012 series. 

Tracy Dean, our newest signing to the TORQ Performance Trail Running team, recently had the honour of being selected to represent Great Britian at the World Trail Running Champs, which this year took place in the Gwydr Forest close to Betws-Y-Coed in North Wales. 

Hamish Shaw travelled out to Wales to take on the beautiful North Welsh coastline. 

We realise it’s a simple innovation, but at long last TORQ now have an individual serve sachet for TORQ energy. 

This is true inspiration to all. 

It’s been a busy couple of months with lots of racing for the team, shortly after the National Marathon Champs  where Neal Crampton took top honours and was crowned national marathon Champion (see report here).
