Sorry but you are wrong, at least on Boeings. The modern wing "flies" from about 90 kts these days and you need to apply aileron at this point at the latest. I show guys in the sim what happens around the longtiudinal axis if you apply full aileron left and right as you barrel down the runway. Watch the sky pointer and you will see a few degrees of roll occur as the plane flies around the oleos.
