Since it's leaked into the Tour thread I felt it's probably better off having a dedicated thread for these. Of the main GC candidates in the Grand Tours, here are the races they're riding in this regard:
Paris-Nice: Almeida, Ayuso, Onley, Uijtdebroeks, Gaudu, L Martinez
Tirreno-Adriatico: Roglic, Hindley, Carapaz, Jorgenson, Bernal, Tiberi
Volta a Catalunya: Mas, Evenepoel, Vingegaard, Almeida, Pidcock
Itzulia Basque Country: Seixas, Roglic, Uijtdebroeks, Ayuso, Del Toro, Tiberi
Tour de Romandie: Roglic, Pogacar, Tiberi
Tour Auvergne - Rhone-Alpes: Tiberi, Onley, Ayuso, Uijtdebroeks, Evenepoel, Del Toro
Tour de Suisse: Pogacar, Jorgenson, L Martinez
I'd expect Romandie and Suisse to fill more as time goes on. Catalunya with Remco vs Jonas probably an interesting early marker. Paris-Nice looks weak, Tirreno is likely between Roglic, Carapaz and Jorgenson, and Romandie is probably the most interesting one of all in terms of the start list, Pogi is obviously the favourite but has never beaten Roglic in a week long race (that both have finished).
Predictions (in order): Ayuso, Roglic, Vingegaard, Roglic, Pogacar, Evenepoel, Pogacar.
