Stage 18 of the 2016 Tour de France is a predominantly uphill time trial. Bike choice is going to be a tough one, so we were wondering if getting aero will help the riders to climb faster..?

Is there an advantage to getting aero when you climb? That's what the Tour de France favourites will be trying to decide before stage 18 of this year's race.
Stage 18 is mainly uphill; a climb on the Rue Bernard Hinault, no less... The nature of the course rules out a complete TT setup. But, what it doesn't rule out are some aero concessions; extensions and slightly deeper wheels. These will all add weight though – is it worth it?
Let us know your thoughts down in the comments.
