Yeah, I was conscious to wait until the interval started before going for it - you can see on on the third interval of the first block I jumped the gun and went up to 115/120 rpm before the resistance could catch up, I think that's when the ERG mode struggles... when I managed to match the cadence closely it seemed ok for a rank amateur like me

The only problem with ERG is that it sets the resistance based on your cadence, so if you go up 120 cadence just before the sprint it will be easy to just use the momentum for a few seconds effort.
On the other hand if you're in a fairly low cadence it will hit you like a wall and get harder if you can't speed up the spin.
Max power with a pre set resistance I always find problematic, how much do people put on? At 30% I feel I ran out of gears but more than that it starts feeling like going up a massive gradient, no momentum at all.
