I think I said this to @TTM earlier in the thread, but the thing that always caught me out on my first day in the mountains was lower back pain, because you can't replicate the position required to climb for 60 minutes or more in the UK. So if you can mitigate that from doing some core work, then it'll help enormously.
Also, don't lose sight of the fact that this will be a holiday, so enjoy it, and take time to look at the views.

Oh yeah totally .. I might skip a col tbh I want to 'see' as much as I can without being at touring pace. Its the biggest reason I ride here anyway, I don't really care that much about fitness/numbers etc. Just dont want to be shit in the mountains and if a bit of training can solve it while enjoying then why not :)
What do you think about the list of the cols?

Great advice, thanks Andy!
I can hold plank for 1.5/2 mins but press ups/sit ups maybe 5 lolololol
