You need to set a higher rxcost for router1. This can be done in
babel.conf (I'm assuming your interface connected to the Internet is
eth0):
  interface eth0 rxcost 200
(The default for wired interfaces is 96.)

I'm not sure this will work, however, since your interface is not
involved in the Babel protocol (it is only providing a default route). I
don't know how such interfaces are handled by Babel.
