I'm not saying road racers can hop as well as cross racers. All cycling disciplines have skills that play better than in other disciplines.
I think what you may see is that good cross racers may be doing well in road races...but you don't see roadies crossing over and doing well, particularly not bunnyhopping, without several years under their belts and a focus on cross.
