    James Emery launched the triathlon season with a third-place finish out of a field of 400, at the picturesque Chirk triathlon run by Wrecsam Triathlon www.wrecsamtri.org.uk

    (24/04/2010)

    Nick Shasha has been with Torq for 3 years now and in that time has represented the Great Britain Age group squad in the European and World duathlon championships 3 times and won numerous duathlons and 5k’s/10k’s.

    (06/04/2010)

    The opening round of the British Mountain Bike Series at Sherwood Pines saw the first proper team outing for the TORQ Performance squad.
