Two weekends, two UCI World Series Races, two wins in totally opposing conditions, from eating mud in Belgium to leaving her rivals in the dust in Germany for the amazing Iron Sally.  

After the Cape Epic, Sally returned to the UK – hoping for some nice spring weather, but getting snow and rain instead! 

Getting up at the crack of dawn, Lou Haston travelled down to Manchester with her Scottish Cycling team mates to ride the ACT Easter Monday track meet.  

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…

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.
