Thank you SHADOW93 for the call-out. So here are my revised and final predictions:
Strade - Van Der Poel
MSR - Sagan
Ronde - Van Der Poel
Roubaix - Sagan
LBL - Alaphilippe
Giro (1,2,3) - S. Yates, Bardet, Carapaz
Tour (1,2,3) - Pinot, Bernal, Roglic
Tour Green - Sagan
Tour KOM - Pinot
Tour White - Bernal
Vuelta (1,2,3) - Landa, Valverde, MAL
WRRC (and OGRRC) - Pinot
WITTC - Evenepoel
Lombardia - Pinot
Pinot only winning Tour, Olympics, Worlds and Lombardia? What about Liège and Vuelta?
He is nice and wants others to win something as well.
