Not true.
The original question, as I worded: two decent cyclists of same weight height strength endurance. What makes one better on the flat, and the other better on the climb? As we know, there are plenty of such examples at all level of (cycling) fitness.
Psychology is the answer I like best, but I wonder maybe there is much more...
