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

Not sure if it is confirmed, but lets see how this plays out.

'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.

2021	Tadej Pogacar (Slo) UAE Team Emirates
2020	Primoz Roglic (Slo) Jumbo-Visma
2019	Jakob Fuglsang (Den) Astana Pro Team
2018	Bob Jungels (Lux) Quick-Step Floors
2017	Alejandro Valverde (Spa) Movistar
2016	Wout Poels (Ned) Team Sky
2015	Alejandro Valverde (Esp) Movistar Team
2014	Simon Gerrans (Aus) Orica–GreenEdge
2013	Dan Martin (Irl) Garmin–Sharp
2012	Maxim Iglinsky (Kaz) Astana
2011	Philippe Gilbert (Bel) Omega Pharma–Lotto
2010	Alexandre Vinokourov (Kaz) Astana
2009	Andy Schleck (Lux) Team Saxo Bank

Yeah, the cobbles are only, what, 2cm higher than the one it's next to... 🤣

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

[Eugene Oppelt]

What a moerse high-speed crash. Eina!
