A 40km TT used to take an hour. That is how the FTP test came about. How hard could you ride for one hour. Then came EPO, microdosing, super aero bikes, TT helmets with visors, rippled skinsuits, and wind tunnels. 42km is close enough to 40km to be of note but not a factor. You ride it the same no matter how long it takes. Target your FTP and listen to your body. If you have a few percent more, you save it for the end, or for any feature like a hill, turnaround, or wind conditions.
