"Col de la tipping point" - OK, what about position?

If the aero makes wheels equivalent over climbs...

Should everyone be climbing in aero tuck?

Since my last Ironman where I was being passed in the flats, but scorching people on the climbs, I've been doing all climbs in aero tuck under the theory it will increase my aero tuck power on the flats.

But I do seem to climb a bit faster that way, admittedly these aren't real climbs, just the usual midwestern rollers between 4-10% for .2-.6 miles.

So, aero or don't? Lance stayed tucked in the Alpe D'Huez TT didn't he?

You should climb the way it makes you fastest. For most that will be in an aero tuck, but as it gets steeper many find sitting up allows more power to be generated. Also in a longer race it can be the best time to sit up and stretch if you are going to anyways.
