Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on December 06, 1982)

Happy Birthday to Alberto Contador, the legendary Madrid-born cyclist who masterfully conquered all three Grand Tours—Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, and Vuelta a España! Your relentless climbing abilities have inspired emotions ranging from awe-struck admiration in fans to despairing envy among fellow riders wishing they had your unstoppable pedal power.

Whether it was attacking fiercely on the Alpe d'Huez ascent or delivering thrilling victories at Angliru's brutal slopes in Spain—the cycling community holds each memorable triumph close. May every birthday bring you joy equal to standing atop those podiums (minus sweaty jerseys). Alberto, here's hoping life's next laps are just as glorious as those epic climbs!
