At the risk of being shouted down and also being W R O N G.
It's only day 4, why would he go for it now? Is Etna REALLY all that? Where are the bigger monsters? In the last week (isn't that normal for the Giro - big stuff at the end?)?

He'll race conservatively today.

I think you're right. But I'd expect a couple of teams to test the others out today, it's a good opportunity to see who has the legs and, more importantly, who hasn't.

Who hasn't.

Exactly, it might be that some of the GC contenders are on a bad day today. So if you know your leader is on a decent day and going okay, you might as well test the others, as if someone is on a bad day (due to it being so early) you could take a lot of time.
