When you fall somewhere between those points of training, you can be faster than someone with a 'genetic predisposition to be good at cycling' by doing more training than them.
Well of course and this depends on the genetic disparity in suitability, and the training.

An athlete is not 'good' or 'bad'. It's a lot more subtle than than.

I think this is where we fundamentally disagree. I believe that 'genetic predisposition to be good at cycling' is only really relevant in a competition between people with no training (beginners) or equivalent amounts of training (such as pro riders, for example).
