Happy Birthday, Axel Merckx! You're the only Belgian cyclist who can proudly say he pedaled out of Eddy Merckx's shadow and into his own spotlight—six times as Belgium’s top finisher at the Tour de France is no small feat. Clearly, cycling greatness runs in your family faster than a downhill sprint!May your birthday be filled with fewer uphill climbs and more cake-fueled sprints to the dessert table. After all those grueling mountain stages you've conquered, you deserve a day off from chasing yellow jerseys—and instead chase seconds on birthday cake. Keep spinning strong; you're wheelie awesome!
