Don't know where you get your numbers from, but to cycle four times faster than you run is very unlikely.
I fit recreational runner, runs about 8MPH, at a 7:30 a mile pace. To cycle 32 MPH for any more than a few hundred yards is at a professionals pace. Even then not for very long on a solo ride.
This would be a 33.6 MPH pace. Only a few professionals could pull that off in a Prologue on a very flat course.

The running would be the more realistic goal. It works out to about a 7:10 mile pace. To bike 4.8k in 5:11 would mean riding at over 30 mph; not many recreational cyclists can maintain that pace for long.

I suck at running, and I am an avid cyclist, but I would much rather try the 2.4k run in 10:23.
A 4.8k bicycle ride in under 5:11 is borderline impossible unless you are a professional rider who is VERY good at time-trialing. And I don't mean just any professional rider, I'm talking about someone of the Jan Ullrich/Lance Armstrong caliber.
2.4k = 1.49 miles
4.8k = 2.98 miles

I could do Running maybe and maybe I could do the cycling depends on what pace I was doing and maybe what my 4.8km course is.

I'd grab a beer and sit on my butt watching someone else ride on VS.
