New Items on the Grand Chess Tour Schedule

As you may recall, the Norway Chess Tournament decided to withdraw from the Grand Chess Tour (GCT), leaving only the Sinquefield Cup and the London Chess Classic on the schedule. The GCT has just added a pair of events to take the Norway tournament's place. Both are rapid & blitz tournaments, run back to back. The first takes place in Paris, France from June 8-14, and the second in Brussels and Leuven, Belgium, from June 15-21.
Are blitz and rapid chess starting to take over elite chess?

One would certainly hope that classical chess will remain the dominant form of professional class.
In other words, quality still matters tremendously.
