This seems to be the case in all sports. The fastest 15 or 16 year old male distance runner is as fast as the women pros. I’m sure the number one high school basketball team in the country would beat the best women’s NBA team.
True. I've witnessed 15 and 16 year old male cyclists beat the women's world champion like she was standing still. There is absolutely no comparison.
Some years ago in NY a local woman cyclist who was state champion used to brag about how she could beat all the local men (just weekend warriors). So I invited her on a group ride and we proceeded to go so hard she quit the ride and went home- and we were just average riders.
