Despite the fame and fortune of the big leagues, it is hard not to fall for the thrill and adrenaline that only sports can provide. While we have seen numerous famous personalities gush over sports teams or stars, there’s always a new revelation on the horizon. Today’s revelation comes from ‘Night At The Museum’ star Ben Stiller, who has long been a passionate cycling fan.

However, even Stiller, a multi-millionaire movie star, was reduced to feeling enthused like a dew-eyed fan at exciting cycling updates. He showed this enthusiasm to the news that Mark Cavendish will indeed ride one more season with Astana in 2024.

The record Cavendish is chasing belongs to one Eddy Merckx, who set it in 1969. Mark Cavendish was already on the verge of setting a new record if not for a crash on stage 8 in 2023. However, while the crash seemingly put an end to Cavendish’s career initially, the 38-year-old is set to return for at least another year. No wonder, Stiller, and every other cycling fan, is waiting with bated breath to see what happens next.

Still has also proven to be a big Geraint Thomas fan. From his cycling to his dad jokes on Twitter, the actor is absolutely floored by the Welsh Tour de France winner. In fact, Stiller replied to one Thomas joke on Twitter, saying, “Not afraid to do edgy material. All the more reason to be a fan.”
