TORQ Performance Track Cyclist Maddy Moore in stunning form as she scoops up her first wins of the season at the Southern Games hosted in Trinidad…

The Southern Games provided a weekend of international racing in Trinidad, including Criterium, Hard Track and Grass Track racing. 

Still training to get back to his full form, Alex Lawton powered through the event generating momentum as the race progressed, really working the run to get a fantastic Podium finish…

Sitting at his desk, watching snowflakes falling just days prior to taking a dip at the Triathlon England Championships at Grafham Water and St Neots, Cambridgeshire, Alex’s mind was understandably preoccupied with the weather. 

Nick put in a storming 1st run and held things together for the bike to take Silver overall at the Dragon Slayer Duathlon held at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park Cycle Circuit in London. 

Last weekend saw the team in action at events right across the country for the annual Regional Championship races, where each regional organiser in the UK puts on a Championship race giving riders the chance to be named the Regional Champion for the season. 

Former World Cup venue, Newnham Park, Plymouth, is well known for its hosting of Bontrager 24/12, one of the UK’s top 24hour events and has gained a reputation on the National XC scene for delivering one of the country’s most technically challenging courses, testing riders to their limits on both the ups and downs of the terrain. 

The 1st round of the National XC is always a hotly contested race with riders from all over the UK battling to test out their form off the back of a hard winter’s training and, following a strong performance at the Midlands XC, the team headed to the new venue of Pembrey Country Park in South Wales.

Transgrancanaria is a race Chris fancied having a look at since watching some coverage last year; the scenery looked amazing, the weather was warm and it looked like a good day out. 

TORQ Performance Triathlon Team’s Nick Shasha fought off some of Europe’s best with brilliant runs at the European Sprint Duathlon Championships in Kalkar, Germany, only being nudged into 4th place by some demon cycling rivals…

A sizzling first run saw Nick taking over a minute out of most of the field, and although he lost several places on the bike to some demon time trialists, his second run redressed some of the balance bringing him to a finish just shy of the podium in 4th place. 

TORQ Performance triathlete, Chris Standidge, maintained his winning streak with another Gold, TORQ Ambassador Beth Hughes ran to win a brilliant Gold, Alex Lawton took Silver and Dave Mawhinney podiumed with Bronze in Age Group; a very nice medal tally for the TORQ team at the Chirk Triathlon, where the racing was seriously tight and seconds made a big difference…

Chirk is nearly always Chris Standidge’s Triathlon season opener, and he was chasing his 5th win in a row and 6th win in 7 years. 

Congratulations to TORQ Performance Triathlon Team’s Emma Lamont, who opened her season with a convincing Silver at East Fife Triathlon. 

Iain Robertson battled through the mud to win Silver in Age Group, while Nick Shasha raced in the Elite/Professional category of the British Duathlon Championships at Windsor.
