I've been doing a ramp test to get an FTP number to plug into a 20 minute FTP test* (a couple of days later) in ERG mode. No need to worry about pacing, innit.
* more specifically something similar to the wahoo 3dp test, which is Critical Power focused, and gives better numbers for W' and p_max to plug into Golden Cheetah. Or something.
I guess because of the pacing aspect, rather than physical aspect.
The 20min testing protocol is harder I feel (which is probably why I moved to Ramp tests and never went back).
