Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on November 26, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Ivan "the Terrible" Basso! You're not terrible at cycling—that nickname just terrified your rivals. From conquering the Giro d'Italia twice (2006 and 2010) to leaving competitors gasping on mountain climbs, you've pedaled your way into cycling legend. Your fierce determination and relentless attacks made every race unforgettable.

Even though you've traded racing bibs for team management, your legacy still inspires cyclists worldwide. May your birthday be filled with fewer uphill battles and more downhill celebrations—just don't forget to brake occasionally! Cheers to another year of spinning circles around life's challenges; you're truly wheelie awesome!
