Does sweating mean you're more fit?

Here's a blog post by Chris Carmichael .. He helped that cyclist Lance ..

In short, as you train more and become more fit, your body adapts. You'll start to sweat earlier in a session and you'll sweat more.

I thought that as you sweat more you'd need more electrolytes. But Carmichael says no: as you become more fit, your body becomes more efficient and you lose electrolytes at a slower rate (But you'll still lose them so whatever you're doing nutrition wise will have to take that into account).
