FTP test on smart trainer

Hi there, Just wondering how people perform this test on regular basis... The smart trainer allows you to do this test in erg and free mode, can you see the difference in your output using either? The very first FTP test is obviously in free mode, does it make sense to do it in erg mode afterwards? I find that in erg mode…

Hi there,

Just wondering how people perform this test on regular basis...
The smart trainer allows you to do this test in erg and free mode, can you see the difference in your output using either?

The very first FTP test is obviously in free mode, does it make sense to do it in erg mode afterwards?

I find that in erg mode I can't escape and if it gets too hard, grind and grind until the test finishes - the fact I don't stop even at 60 rpm, is this a good FTP test? In free mode test, I think I would drop the power scoring lower...

Thanks in advance
