One year after turning pro isn't the same as one year after just picking up the sport.
As I clearly stated, neither case is relevant to the discussion.
Do you deny that some sports are more skill based than others?
No, but I never addressed that issue.
It is my opinion that reaching an equivalent level of competency in tennis and cycling requires roughly the same amount of time (and effort). I think your mistake is thinking that riding in a group indicates a higher of competency than it really is.
