can't speak to pursuit cyclists. But the motocross and alpine skiing relationship is right on the money. I knew a 2x World Champ MX racer (Donnie Schmit, 125cc and 250cc, RIP). He "never" skied, but ran into him once skiing and he was jaw dropping, outrageously good. He probably was a good runner too, though I never ran with him.
I saw this on a white board in a window box at my daughters middle school...
