That's one facet of being a great athlete overall. I think being really good to great at only one facet of being an athlete doesn't really make you a great athlete.

There is a lot more to cycling than just pedaling.
When I did my first century, I trained for 6 months. That included riding, running, and gym time. I in no way consider myself to be a great athlete, but I have a true appreciation for the physical skill that it take to compete at this level in this sport. Bo Jackson, who I also consider to be a great athlete, probably wouldn't last for 5 mins in one of the training regimens for a pro cyclist.
