If I've done a 40k in aero at 265w and am pretty good at riding in TT in aero, I'm down maybe 10w versus road position. I just ride that much in aero. So 275w for road. Confirmed by an indoor Alpe climb at about that on the road bike. My 40k is faster than 60min, but close enough. I hope to get that to maybe 275w this year in aero for that same duration.

We'll see. I'm also working on more aero gains, so there's that also. As power matters as long as it isn't wasted on a bad riding position, equipment, or excess weight, or bad strategy.
