What's the difference? Each of the 198 riders of the TdF has a different genetic makeup - As do all of us mere mortals.
The difference is, when you're at that top level, genetics will play the deciding roll. Wether that's physical make up or just a head for tactics and cunning.
For people like us, genetics won't play nearly as much of a roll as more training would.

This is not my understanding at all. Genetics apply to everyone. Pros sit at the extreme end of a spectrum, but we all sit in that spectrum somewhere. We are talking about cyclists with some training to allow genetic traits valuable to cycling to show themselves. Can you let us know why you think this?
