Since its conception in 2003, the TORQ Performance Mountain Bike team has grown into one of the UK’s most recognised and established, domestic level professional mountain bike racing teams. 

A great performance by the team at Chirk triathlon – the default season opener for all in the vicinity. 

TORQ Triathletes have picked up both the male and female “National Champion titles” at the Tri England Duathlon Championships, run by Functional Fitness events. 

Chris Standidge starts his racing campaign with a convincing win at the Firefighters duathlons (you don’t need to be a fireman to enter!). 

Hamish performed brilliantly for the team last year but this year he is really setting himself up for a solid season and we believe he can take it to another level. 

TORQ fuelled track cyclist Jan Birkmyre takes up the challenge to be the 2014 “Hack on the Track”; a day of track racing sponsored by Halfords, to find the fastest cycling journalist and launch the Boardman track bike. 

TORQ Performance MTB Team guest rider, Ajay Pandit Chhetri, of Nepal, last week took a clear win in the 2014 Yak Attack; The highest altitude, and one of the toughest, mountain bike stage races in the world. 

Alex Lawton is one of the fastest age group triathletes in the UK and has agreed to join the TORQ Triathlon Team. 

TORQ are very proud of having some of the fastest age groupers in the sport, including Chris Standidge, the overall winner of the British Triathlon Championships. 

After a long search for people wishing to apply for the first TORQ Performance Swimming Team way back in September 2013, then subsequent trials at Loughborough Universities’ “Pool of Dreams” on the 12th January 2014 – the final athletes for the team were chosen. 

After searching for applicants to form the first TORQ Performance Swimming Team, 16 hopefuls descended on the home of British Swimming and “the pool of dreams” at Loughborough University with one aim and one aim only – to swim fast and become the first members of our newest TORQ Fuelled squad. 

As with most triathletes at this time of the year, Nick has concentrated on one sport, whilst maintaining the other two to a lesser extent.
