Ramp Test vs 20 Minute FTP Test vs 8 Minute FTP Test

I just did both the ramp test and 20 minute test out of curiosity (3 days apart). Painful curiosity. Ramp test put me at 315W, 20 min test put me at 294W (310 for 20’).
This was kind of what I expected, as I always prefer VO2 over Threshold work. It’s nice to know what the discrepancy is between those two numbers now. I’m sticking with the ramp test number because it’s what I’ve been using for training, and because it’s higher, ofc.
