Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on June 01, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Michael Rasmussen! May your celebrations climb higher than the steepest mountains you've conquered. We hope you attack this birthday cake with as much determination and speed as when you dominated those legendary mountain stages in the Tour de France.

Your incredible climbing skills have left fans breathless (and competitors exhausted) for years—proving that gravity is merely a suggestion to someone of your talent. Here's wishing you another year filled with thrilling ascents, smooth descents, and fewer flat tires along life's winding roads. Keep pedaling strong; after all these climbs, birthdays should be downhill from here!
