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.

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

What a moerse high-speed crash. Eina!
