That is false. For example, in women's racing, there have been quite a few novice riders who have done quite well in their first year and whose bike handling skills were mediocre. For example, I would like to do a survey of the top 100 women racers in the US to find out how many of them can ride no hands.

I know for a fact that a graduate student in mathematics at Harvard did not know how to tie his shoes. He got his Ph.D. at 20.
