Otley Olympian Lizzie Armitstead’s recent cycling success has been praised in the House of Commons.
MP Greg Mulholland (Lib Dem, Leeds North West) has tabled a Parliamentary motion in recognition of the 24-year-old winning the British National Road Race Championships, in Glasgow, on June 23.
Mr Mulholland said: "It is fantastic that local hero Lizzie Armitstead won the British National Road Race Championship for a second time, cementing her position as the country’s top road racer.”
