Same with me. I think it's motivation not to get dropped and/or to get in that peloton to make life a bit easier. I've done a few CRIT city races were I was going all out and achieved a new FTP and a time trial where I was cooking it (for me at least).
Great workout tool and worth the money in my opinion. For the monthly subscription fee I can get in as many workouts as I want, whenever I want.
