I think Roglic will win this Tour. He only lost time in Arenberg, because he had to put back in his dislocated shoulder.
He should be the strongest climber in this race. Probably, his mountain shape is even a little bit better than in last year‘s Vuelta.
From tomorrow on, Primoz will be in his favourite Alpine mountains. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will suit him very much. Plus, he has Jonas as a domestique. These two were unbeatable in the Dauphine, few weeks ago.

Obvious podium: Pog-Vin-G. However surprises are still possible. Vingegaard can be a threat in the Alps. I wonder if UAE isn't too generous in its efforts. Gaudu might make the top 5.
Stage 11 to Granon is underhyped and will be crucial. Stage 12 to Huez is overhyped. Hopefully no top riders will test C-positive or crash out, but I have a bad presentiment.
Covid's gone. Now let's find something else to worry about.all tests negativ
No positive tests so far? I am positively (sorry) surprised.
Yeah, somehow the Tour never finds any positives with their rest day covid tests, unlike other gts...Did they really do PCR? The odds of them all being negative after we already had riders leave the race must've been astronomical.

It's just smoke and mirrors.

I'm surprised that noone has mentioned Mas yet. Obviously not to win the Tour, but in my opinion he's the favorite to take the last step on the podium.

Jonas was unbeatable at the Dauphine. Roglic needs to improve a lot. I hope he does but so far this TdF we haven’t seen this even if there has been only one inconclusive mountain stage. Not saying it won’t happen but I think your optimism might be misplaced even allowing for his shoulder problem? We will see.
Not to say Jonas wasn't or isn't in great shape or if he can or can't win this Tour edition. It's on him now and Danes. But he was beaten at Dauphiné.
P.S. Likely he just left the win to Rogla. As he targeted Tour.
Vingegaard was not beaten. He had to wait for Rogla. Vingegaard definetly the better climber. Rogla is the domistique now, not the other way around.
