Tour de France in Wales – 1 year to go event

2.2 This would be a special moment for the country, for the first time Wales would feature in the event, with the whole of Stage three being hosted from Welshpool to Cardiff. Plans were being made to welcome the event to Wales and to showcase its landscape, and vibrant and friendly communities.
