I think not. I think this is learned behavior.

I think it is genetical. Everything is genetical, and being a Fred is one of them.

Now is a good time for me to remind all you Freds that you really should work on your Pcad ass kissing skills.

I'd be seriously bummed if some people can just be a fred without any real hard work and effort when some of us have worked so hard to get where we are.
Say it ain't so!

Like all cycling talent, a lot comes down to nature, but those less Fred-endowed should be encouraged to nurture whatever small gift they inherited.

Everyone has at least some natural Fred talent, but it takes a certain mental toughness and dedication to reach Elite status.

YESSSSS! Being a Fred is mostly genetic.
Another thing that I can blame on my parents. Now ask me about my athletic prowess.
