I'd agree with most of these. However just because cyclists have very high aerobic base and high v02 max it doesn't instantly translate to high-level running performance. Of course they have a big advantage, but there is a big transition period required too.
So I think the idea that TDF cyclists can just get up and run a 16:00 5k is pretty insane. The ones with running experience probably can, but most would seriously struggle to get anywhere near that.
