The motion
That this House welcomes the strength of British cycling; congratulates Mark Cavendish on winning eight stages in the Tour de France, equalling the record for the number of stage wins by a British rider in the Tour; notes the excellent performance by Bradley Wiggins who is currently in 3rd place in the overall standings for the Tour de France; recognises that this success builds on the superb effort of cyclists in the 2008 Beijing Olympics in which British cyclists won 14 medals; further recognises that this success will help attract more people to the sport; and looks forward to British cycling going from strength to strength, achieving even greater success at the 2012 London Olympics and future cycling races including the Tour de France.
