We’ve had events, of course, being held in Wales. There was the Tour of Britain, if I remember. I remember being in Caerphilly, watching it as it crossed Caerphilly mountain. We have, of course, the velodrome in Newport, which is a very good facility for people to be able to use, and the fact that we have had success in international cycling—Geraint Thomas, of course, at the moment; Nicole Cook and others in the past—shows that we do have the facilities in place to promote cycling. We know, of course, that cycling, again, is one of those sports that is an elite sport at international level, but is a hugely important activity in terms of improving people’s health when they are cycling for recreation.
