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.
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.
