Why would it skew it though? you are just riding a bunch of 1 min intervals are you not, where you need to hold an average power until you fail an interval? I haven't done a ramp test for years, all I remember is it was really easy and then really intense for a few minutes at the end and it gave me a massively high FTP estimate.
tldr @ghostface I hadn't seen that but yes, I agree with Jesse. This idea that you can cheat the shorter tests by sprinting at the end....ok, but if you want an accurate test, just...don't sprint at the end.
