your 20 min power increase sure is good,
But I’d bet Your FTP hasn’t gone up that much...
I think it'd be nearly impossible to increase 20 min power without increasing FTP by a similar amount.
Unless it is a mental concentration thing over a 60 min test vs a 20 min test, you are bang on. But assuming one could then 60 min power just a percentage degradation of 20 min power.
for the question from the OP, it really does not matter what type of bike you ride...peloton, gravel, road, spin bike with zero metrics, TT bike etc etc etc. Pedaling is pedaling so as long as you increase your fitness pedaling, it will translate fairly quickly to TT position power. Just keep your hip angle on your peloton set up as closed as on your TT bike and it literally will take not much more than 5-10x rides outdoors in the TT position to get set for racing (at least up to a half IM distance....IM distance is another animal due to the long duration of concentration and digesting fuel)
