Categorised under the topics of Cycling and Sports.
That this House congratulates the organisers, the riders and the millions of spectators who made the opening stages of the Tour de France in Yorkshire such a stunning success; notes the crucial role in this triumph of Gary Verity, the chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, who came up with the idea while shaving before starting his day job as a sheep farmer; commiserates with Mark Cavendish who was injured in a fall in the last few metres of the race to the line in his mother's home town of Harrogate; and wishes the reigning Tour de France holder Chris Froome, and all other competitors, all the best in one of the world's greatest sporting events which started in one of the worldâs greatest places.
This motion has been signed by a total of 9 MPs.
