It's because zFTP isn't the same as 20 minute power. It's CP - what zwift calls "roughly what you can do for 40 minutes" which is obviously going to be lower than what you can do for 20. So yes. They literally ARE harder because you can do well over 3.4 for 20 and not get booted out, but in the days of ZP Cats you couldn't.

As someone who can do about 3.1 for 20 at the moment, I think it sucks

Yeah I appreciate that's the reason why. I guess there's winners and losers from the changes as those riders who aren't getting upgraded but would have previously are probably having a lovely time! (It's still quite a flawed system whatever way you look at it though)

100%. I replied to your post, but it was meant to be adding to your explanation rather than “at” you

I still think vELO is about the best we have, but even that has annoying limitations. vELO 2 is being worked on though
