I tend to die at 360w.. trying to psyche myself up for today's ramp test.

Well done, kudo's for doing two FTP tests in a week (and another one next week)! Found a number of small issues in Zwift, hope that they can fix this. Not sure you noticed them as you were going all-out ;) 1. The 440W interval was marked as completed (star) while you stopped a the start of it (great effort though!) 2. At 24:07 in the feed the intervals switched to 390-410-430W etc, while during the test they were at 380-400-420W etc. Switched back after a little while... 3. The resulting FTP value screen was shown for far too short, it is easy to miss, especially if you go all-in. 4. 75W cool down for 10 minutes is far too low for people with a 300+W FTP, turning off ERG is probably a good solution. Or Zwift could use a FTP percentage for the cool-down.

Fab video. Found the same the grade was lower than my ramp and my ramp FTP is usually comparable to the 20 Min FTP. Im a heavier rider so i wonder if the switch backs sap that little bit extra, where a 20min or ramp is less so staccato type efforts. That said maybe thats psychosomatic as the grade looks pretty linear on the graph. Fab ramp result you did there 👍👍👍👍

If you’re taking about riding up The Grade… yes. (But you’d have to start at the bottom of The Grade, which I didn’t do on this ride.)

This showed up in my feed. Are you considered good? my ftp is 10w lower doing the same test (I die 1min sooner) and i'm a couple of kg lighter than you. i'm trying to assess how sucky i am.

Depends on who you ask. :) Nah, I'm just a middle of the road cat B on Zwift. No where near the ability of the strong A riders!

I think there are bell curves for this to determine how you compare

Good is relative. I'm 81kg and have an FTP of 265w or so and I can hang comfortably (ish) with the medium-speed group in my local cycling club. I have tried racing in real life (4th cat, easiest in UK), twice (both crits on a circuit).. got absolutely CRUSHED and was bleeding out of my eyes. Managed to win a D race on zwift.
