Alexandre Geniez was my Thibaut Pinot/Pierre Roland young, hyped, darkhorse climber, set to be dropped by Argos-Shimano, so I expect(ed) him to try to show himself to get a contract for next year. Dude's a bust. Was also expecting my Andalucia guy to at least pick up some breakaway points...
Daniel Moreno may be my saving grace though. Surprised nobody else (I think?) picked him up considering he won Vuelta a Burgos right before the Vuelta started, beating Henao, Igor Anton, and some other Vuelta guys.
