Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on January 30, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Richie Porte! May your celebrations be smoother than your legendary climbs and more enjoyable than a downhill sprint at the Volta ao Algarve. You've pedaled through victories like Paris–Nice 2013 with such ease that we're convinced you secretly installed an engine in those legs!

From Team Praties to Saxo Bank, you've conquered mountains (and hearts) along the way. Here's hoping this year brings fewer punctures and even greater triumphs—though topping past glories might require wings instead of wheels! Keep spinning strong; age is just another climb you're destined to master effortlessly.

Cheers to many victorious rides ahead!
