Is it confirmed somewhere, as reports show he is returning for a family emergency but still committed to defend his title?

'Bala' has a good history at L-B-L and with his 2nd-place on Wednesday, he has to be on decent form to be in with a shot.

But I feel one of the younger ones are going to take it.

2020 Primoz Roglic (Slo) Jumbo-Visma
2019 Jakob Fuglsang (Den) Astana Pro Team

2017 Alejandro Valverde (Spa) Movistar
2016 Wout Poels (Ned) Team Sky

2014 Simon Gerrans (Aus) Orica–GreenEdge
2013 Dan Martin (Irl) Garmin–Sharp
2012 Maxim Iglinsky (Kaz) Astana

Perfectly choreographed winning move by the anti-SDWorckx Annemiek. At 39, she would've loved that win after a relatively tough spring.
