He's riding to crash and burn in the third week. If he can maintain this form, then it will be an amply deserved win, and very impressive. I would not be surprised if he faded off the top step. But we'll see. In any case, DiLuca is riding to give himself the best possible chance of winning. So is LL. They are riders with very different characteristics, and if LL tried to ride like DiLuca, he would lose. He's a diesel engine, and needs to ride accordingly.
