Cycling coach at my uni helped the triathletes train, and he always like to say this:
“You can lose a triathlon anywhere on course, but you win on the bike.”
Looking at time spent on each leg and speed differential between a high level and mediocre athlete at each individual sport- seems legit.

Reminds me: hippos run faster than humans on land and swim faster than humans in water. So in triathlon your only chance is the bike
