Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on October 22, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Mark Renshaw! The Aussie powerhouse whose thighs have likely seen more kilometers than my old family car. You dazzled fans worldwide by clinching gold at the 2002 and 2004 World Championships—proving once again that Australians excel not just in surfing waves but also riding road bikes faster than kangaroos hop.

While most people are happy with birthday cake candles, you're used to blowing past finish lines instead. As you celebrate another lap around life's grand velodrome, rest assured your legendary sprint finishes and fearless performances will forever remain etched into cycling history—and our hearts! Have a wheelie awesome birthday, mate!
