Stage 2
Green points
Today
1= Josedin, SafeBet 80 (Alaphilippe)
3= Scrool07, Search 50 (Hirschi)
5= JustSomeGuy, Salvarani 3 (Pogacar)
No-one else scored. A change in the minor classification after discussion before the Vuelta last year means that the two Alaphilippe teams don't get the 20 points for leading the GC table (in this classification, they still get them in the main game).
Standings
SafeBet and Josedin don't only share Alaphilippe, but also Coquard, so they had the same points yesterday and are still not separated in this competition.

Main game
Most of the points are projected points: in previous years I have described that as 'if the Tour were to finish here', but in 2020 that seems unsubtle. But because they are projections they become closer to reality the nearer we get to the end of the race, and scores can go down as well as up (So had anyone picked Kristoff, he had 780 points yesterday (80 for stage win, 20 Yellow jersey points, 600 for top of GC and 80 for top of green jersey), today he has 200 (he can't lose the stage winner and yellow jersey wearer points, even if he doesn't finish the Tour, but his 600 race leader points have dropped to 20 for being 129th on GC, and he still has the lead in the sprints classification, but will probably lose some placings in that over the next three weeks) and so his points difference on the day is -580. And if individual riders can get negative daily scores, so can a team.
The main points changes, as they affect riders selected for our teams:
ALAPHILIPPE Julian 695 2 teams
HIRSCHI Marc 416 2 teams
CHAVES RUBIO Jhoan Esteban 235 2 teams
POGACAR Tadej 205 2 teams
BERNAL GOMEZ Egan Arley 174 16 teams
FORMOLO Davide 171 2 teams
DUMOULIN Tom 132 28 teams
ROGLIC Primoz 108 4 teams
QUINTANA ROJAS Nairo Alexander 100 1 team
MARTIN Guillaume 90 2 teams
BUCHMANN Emanuel 80 12 teams

Scores will probably not fluctuate this violently most days:
1 SafeBet 909 (Alaphilippe, Bernal, Dumoulin, but Coquard)
2 Scrool07 636(Hirschi and Dumoulin)

Standings
No real correspondence to yesterday's table: the top two have both risen 17 places and Scrool 19.
That looks like an enormous, as if unsurmountable, lead already: how realistic it is, like the GC tables in last year's tour, depends on the durability of Alaphilippe's tenure of yellow.
