FTP did not Update following race effort

General Discussion

My FTP is 248W. I just did a 30km (48 mins) race on Zwift and Zwiftpower had my average power at 256W but I did not get an updated FTP in Zwift.

Any ideas why not? TIA

I’m pretty sure Zwift would take 95% of the best 20-minute period of your 256W average workout, so that’s not guaranteed to be better than your current FTP of 248W.

According to Riegel your FTP would be 252 watt.
