Do you suppose climbing hills can put you into the same physical shape as riding fast on the flats?

A rugby coach I trained under, Dr Danie Craven, used to run us up the steep hill behind our home field. He was a very successful coach.

Direct answer to your question: I don't see how you can maintain the same output on the flat as on hills unless you have butterfly cadence or gearing that would be a pain in the hills.
