The latter. Best to find a problem with the bike whilst you still have time to rectify it, than finding it just before you're about to start your race.
From a training perspective, some short efforts will be good for you, as it'll remind the body what's happening and not fatigue you too much (as I'd imagine you're still fairly fatigued from the week on the Cote d'Azur).

Just had eight days smashing it up Cols on the Cote d'Azur. First hill climb of the season is a 4 min effort on Sunday. Do I do a Trainer Road session mid week with some 4 min all our efforts to get a feel for pacing, or take the race bike out and test the modifications (single ring up front, removing bits) with some reps of Swains Lane (short ~2 mins all-out hill)?
