"This is exciting news" - Hollywood's Ben Stiller delighted to hear Mark Cavendish is set to postpone retirement
Cycling
World famous Hollywood actor Ben Stiller, has long been a vocal and very public supporter of cycling and he continues to share his thoughts on the sport to his 5.5 million followers on X.
With more and more news surrounding Mark Cavendish seemingly hinting to an inevitable return for 2024, Stiller (famous for movies such as Tropic Thunder, Zoolander, Night at the Museum and more) took to to X (formerly Twitter) to express his excitement.
"This is exciting news," writes Stiller in response to an article regarding Cavendish's likely postponing of his retirement.
After crashing out of what was thought to be the final Tour de France of his career, the 'Manx Missile' now looks set to have one last crack at getting that historic 35th Tour de France stage win and take his place at the top of the list ahead of the great Eddy Merckx. Love him or hate him, it sure is 'exciting news' that Cavendish has one last chance to make history!

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
