The Grands Prix Cyclistes de Québec et de Montréal - currently the only two UCI WorldTour level races to take place in North America - will return next month after a two-year absence, and will feature a stacked line-up of Grand Tour and Monument champions including Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) and Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers).

The two one-day races were last held in 2019, and saw Greg Van Avermaet take the victory in Montréal with Michael Matthews outsprinting the Belgian, and Peter Sagan, in Québec City.
