@ScrawnyLittleWhiteBoy, When it comes to Geoff it's a bit of a special case since what happened to him counts as both derailment and Flanderization.

It's Flanderization first because he was never the sharpest tool in the shed but had more characteristics to balance that out, here his stupidity is all there is to his character. And it's derailment because he suddenly goes from being at arguably his smartest in World Tour to his stupidest in RR with no explanation.
