The biggest difference IMO even on a resistance trainer is momentum. Rollers or Trainer inside you are going to get to target rpm in a shorter time unless you have a trainer with a large flywheel. Outside you will run out of the peak needed to accelerate to the same target before you get there. Even if the power to maintain the same gear/target rpm is the same on your trainer as outside.
