70 years old (Born on November 14, 1954)
Happy Birthday, Bernard Hinault! Another year older and still pedaling strong—though we're pretty sure your rivals are relieved you're not racing anymore. With five Tour de France victories under your belt, you've climbed mountains faster than most of us climb stairs!From conquering the Alps to dominating time trials, you made cycling look easy—even when it clearly wasn't. Your fierce determination earned you the nickname "The Badger," but today we hope you'll relax a bit more gently (and maybe enjoy some cake without timing yourself). Here's wishing you another fantastic lap around life's course; may every ride be downhill from here!
