If you're expecting Levi to put serious time into these guys in the TTs then you're expecting one of these guys to have a really bad day.
There is a difference between attacking and being an 'attacking fool'. What is the point of expending unnecessary energy early if you can wheelsuck and still remain within striking distance of the leaders? The time for attacking will come in the Pyrenees. This isn't the last 9 tours,
this tour is the only one these guys are concerned about.
