I wonder if a rolling road under that wing would prevent the stalled air as it is moved closer to the ground?

In a wind tunnel, yes it will as it keeps the boundary layer at ground level very thin. This I critical as it is low pressure free stream air that the wing underside needs to work efficiently....
