Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on August 07, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Marco Melandri! You're not getting older—just faster and wiser around life's corners. From your thrilling MotoGP victories to becoming World Superbike's Italian maestro, you've always known how to keep fans on the edge of their seats (and occasionally off them!).

Whether it's your unforgettable battles at Phillip Island or that legendary 2005 MotoGP season when you secured runner-up spot with style and grit, you've shown us all what true passion looks like on two wheels. May this birthday bring as much excitement as a final-lap showdown—and remember: age is just another lap completed in record time!
