I read once Jan Ulrich could not fix a puncture.
He cycled as an organised sport, being built up as an athlete by schools and trainers.
So it never occured to him that he might go out cycling on his own, lest for the joy of it.
I remember an interview with Udo Boelts who said that this was the main reason Ulrich lost his form over the winter. When he went to a pro team there was no organised training schedule during off-season.
Took them a couple of seasons to understand that yelling at him in the spring was no good. But that they had to send someone (Boelts) there to ride with him.
He went to the touristic area where Ulrich lived (Schwarzwald) and was surprised that Ulrich couldn't recommend a single cycling route there. He just did not know how to plan a route or just go out exploring.
