Exactly what I said. It has NO use for me in road riding. When I'm outdoors I ride the way I feel. When I'm indoors on the trainer it is necessary to make the Zwift and the others work in ERG mode, otherwise it doesn't know where to set it. And for Zwift racing it is used as a placement metric. It doesn't matter indoors in free riding mode, which is like outdoors, you ride the way you feel.
