Consensus is either Vingegaard or Pogacar will win it, which is is one reason why I tend to follow the polka-dot (climbing) jersey – at least there is some variation on that. Green (sprinting) also, but that doesn’t interest me as much.
Stage 1 Pogacar is THIRD, 12 seconds off Vingegaard, but that can be made up.

Thanks for starting this. I enjoy following it although I usually don’t have much to contribute.
I just watch the ~20 min NBC sports highlight reels, and check the official site for standings I didn’t catch or NBC didn’t mention.
Pogacar lets his teammate Del Toro get a stage win. Del Toro also has the green.
McNulty gets second in the Polka Dot just by leading Pogacar up a hill (twice, as it ended with a 3 lap loop)
The 2 point climb was average 9.x % (which I can slowly do), but portions were ~14% (I would have trouble, even in granny gear – maybe if it was short enough)
