There's nothing for the flow to "ride" on.
With ducting you should be fine. The Probe is fine even without ducting. If you're not aware, P&G and EOC keep engine temps down pretty well also. Mutual benefit.

My uncertainty on that design wasn't cooling effectiveness, but rather on the drag experienced by the air traveling through the scoop. After all, the advantage is that taking air from that location will reduce the drag elsewhere. But it may not be a net benefit if the scoop itself is lossy.
I know it would be better with a belly pan... and a boattail...
(BTW, the inlet is supposed to be designed for climbing 5% 2000ft mountain passes, one of the things it will be doing tomorrow. I can always block or partially block the inlet for less demanding applications.)
