FTP, VO2max and heart rate
Published figures only. A model of race climbs or a reading of training uploads is an estimate, not a lab test, and is labelled so.

Climbs and power
One row per effort. Where several sources give the same effort, a study comes first, then the rider's own file, then a named analyst, then the press. Analysts estimate power from time, length, gradient and an assumed weight: those are not power files.
