Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on November 24, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Luis Sanchez! Another year older and still pedaling faster than most of us can drive. From your thrilling victory at the 2009 Paris-Nice to conquering stages in the Tour Down Under back in 2005, you've shown that age is just a number—though we suspect you might secretly have pedals instead of feet.

May this birthday bring fewer flat tires and more podium finishes. Keep racing strong; after all, you're proof that life is like riding a bicycle: to keep your balance (and trophies), you must keep moving forward. Cheers to another lap around the sun, champion!
