What do you want to do better at?
Presuming you want to be better at racing - but what type? Crits/Road Racing/TT/track?
All have pretty different power requirements.Increasing your FTP will be great for doing 25m TT's but might not help a huge amount when Crit racing, where focusing on increasing your power for shorter efforts would likely lead to better results, for example.

What do you want to do better at?
I am trying to reverse engineer an answer to that ..
I have been presented the gift of redundancy and the gardening leave begins next week; I promised myself I'll get better by doing some off bike work during this time but if the sun is shining that can fuck off. So I need a purpose. Otherwise I'll just gram #slackermiles

Thanks for clarifying that NP/AP confusion .. thats what I thought it would be. Whats the point of NP then? Just a 'feel good' metric like calories burnt?
I've only ever tested on Madone. You'll be faster (even on road bike) because aero.
I am lost for purpose when it comes to power; I've achieved what I wanted to this year i.e. the w/kg ratio and be less shit on hills. The question is whats next in context of power.
