IMHO the best solution would be for a Spanish national team to get an invite, Valverde rides for them but allowed to wear the Movistar kit. Maybe even make a special jersey just for the race. Would it be fair that Bala would have 2 teams at his disposal? Of course, he's earned it.

Maybe he'll do as well as Armstrong did for his 2nd comeback.Yea we've had 1st comeback, but what about 2nd comeback?
Yes, has to be a significantly lower level of competition as opposed to WT racing.Not exactly surprising. We all knew he couldn't stay away from racing.
I think he'll be fine racing gravel.
Yea, he almost strikes me as too thin to be an elite gravel racer.It's also a different type of racing. There were some of us that thought he'd join some of his friends and race some of the local masters races.
Yea we've had 1st comeback, but what about 2nd comeback?
