The other option was the beat him and say "I'm gonna win this thing and not even allow you the consolation prize of the stage win cause I'm a greedy jerk". Aside from all of that, Levi has more racing to do in a week, and he needs to save energy for that. How stupid would he feel if he had burned the extra energy today, then lost the next race by two seconds or something cause his legs were tired?
