I doubt that. I think such a person could make it to good amateur
level -- doing well regionally and participating even in pro-am events
in terms of riding around in the pack, but to actually be a factor in
top level races (ProTour races) requires abnormally good genetics.

Almost ever rider that gets to the top level in the sport had almost
immediate demonstrated great potential as a beginner, even when not
training very well.
