If you are looking at the same thing I am looking at then there is no HR data, it cuts out after his warm up! During the warm-up it remains near static at 100 bpm (with a few bits of missing data), even during 400W efforts, i.e. most likely it was malfunctioning or his head unit had picked up someone elses HRM who was not putting in a big effort, then lost connection when either he, or they moved.
For the actual ITT, make a selection from ~0:36:00 to ~1:56:40.

Why do you find this interesting?
His pacing looks very good, variability index of 1.03 and intensity factor of 0.96. Baring in mind it was a 1 hr 20 min effort, the IF looks pretty good and only a 3% mismatch between NP and AP means he was very close to steady state. So he didn't back off much on the decents, kept the pressure on.
The only thing that is a bit wierd is that it looks like he just smashed it from the word go, there appears to be no easing in, possibly because the start was straight onto a hill.
My pacing on a hilly TT is a lot more variable, so I find it interesting to see his is much less so. I didn't say it was incredibly interesting, I said it was the most interesting thing about that trace.

I was just curious why you found it interesting, because to me, it looks textbook

Because it's not as variable as I would have expected
compare with a different hilly TT by Rory SutherlandBear in mind that I am not a tester

That one is even more steady state, only a 2% variance. Ridden at a lower intensity though at IF of 0.92, I would have expected to see >1, something ~1.05 to 1.10 for that ride.
But on the steep bits he goes a 100 watts in the red, whereas Salvatore never seems to go more than 50 watts over. Mind you, it is a shorter distance.
By contrast in the Little Mountain this year I was often going 200 watts over FTP on the steep bits.
I have a lot to learn about trialling

That is true, he does go over, but the duration of the spikes are very short, this reflects in the variability index being 1.02, if the duration was more substantial then the VI index would increase as AP and NP diverge from one another, as they are the variance is 2%.
My best performance (PB - 28+ mph ride) and coincidently, my most even pacing on flat 10 mile TT's resulted in a 1.6%-1.8% variance.

VI = NP/AP
For convenience, you should be able to add VI as a data field in golden Cheetah though. You should also be able to ditch xP and replace with NP. I ditched all the GC metrics and swapped them for the TP metrics.
