Not necessarily. If Diluca gets shelled on any of the climbs by the lead group it's his problem. That might not require an attack, just a ballistic rate of climb that he can't answer. DiLuca also has to worry about the 15km flat TT at the end of the Giro that will really play into Levi's favor.
Very interesting race. Three top guys within 40 seconds, and of those three, I like Levi's chances. If everything remains the same until the final TT, Levi might well be in the driver's seat.
