You're overgeneralizing about things where there's considerable overlap. You shouldn't assume that because someone is smaller and lighter than you that they won't crush you on the flats, or that they will crush you on a climb. Sure smaller riders TEND TO BE better at climbing, and bigger riders TEND TO BE better on the flats. But that doesn't mean no big riders can climb or that no smaller rider can time trial.
