None of them have been tested in lab conditions....then the discussions shift into how you can make accurate FTP assessments by looking at certain points in your power curve.

Re: People who's indoor power is higher than outdoor power.....I think being on a stationary trainer has a lot to do with this. Specifically the artificial leverage you get when hammering.
