Not the same in pool or guitars where the cream of the talent rises to the top. A four minute video of talent...the best player in the USA. Born 90% hearing impaired, bullied in school, but he had many friends in the pool hall. Now respected globally.

In competitive motorsport, the margins are so slim that any advantage in one can be offset by someone else's advantage in the other. The most skillful does not always win, nor does the best equipment.
This video is different, though. The disparity in capabilities between the two bikes is enormous, thereby serving to highlight the equally large disparity in displayed skill between the two riders. One bike is designed and built for this kind of riding, the other is designed and built for anything but this kind of riding.
It would be like standing on a pool table and hitting the cue ball with a putter.
