Why is my ramp test so low?

Interesting workaround. I’m 67 and have wondered if the ramp test “discriminates” against older cyclists whom due to age have limited VO2 Max? My last two completed ramp test showed a slight reduction from 210 (Nov. 19) to 202. My most recent ramp test had a mechanical abort when the power cord on my Kickr popped loose due to for/aft movement on Inside Ride Eflex. But using your 75 to 80% of 1 min power would put me at 226 to 240 (301 max). I struggle with V02 max intervals but am like a diesel locomotive on SS/over-unders.
