One of the tricks of the pros in order to improve their time trialing speed is to do some motorpacing for short distances, but at a fast speed. You are going to simulate these kinds of intervals by doing 4 minute efforts near your FTP and keeping the cadence quick.

Warm-up for 10minutes with 3 x 1 minute fast pedaling intervals >110rpm, then a solid 5 minutes at tempo to ensure you are ready. Complete 6 x 4minutes and each interval will get a little easier as you closer to the end of it. At the same time, each interval will require a little faster cadence, so that by the end of the effort, you are over 110rpm. Recover completely for 3 minutes of endurance riding between each. Cool-down.

Time trial simulations are key to improve your time trial, along with pacing. Each of these mini-time trials is 6 minutes long and I want you to seperate each into 2 minute sections. The first two minutes are getting up to speed, then next two minutes are finding a rhythm and the final two minutes are pushing hard to the finish line. Focus and get into your Aero position and learn to pace yourself, so you don't blow up! Recover for 3 minutes between each, and then cool down. Warm-up for 10 minutes and then do 3 x 1 minute fast pedaling drills >110rpm. 5 minutes at tempo and then begin (5) x 6minute time trial efforts.

This is to prepare you for what happens in a real sprint at the end of the race. You never get to sprint from a "fresh" state. You always have to do at least 1-2 sprints to either hold your position or get into position for the sprint. So, this will be two sprints, the first at about 80% and then the 2nd at 100%, as if you are finishing a race and sprinting for the finish line. Be sure to rest and pedal easy between each for 3minutes, as you will want to be recovered for the next set! Warmup for 10minutes, then (3) x 1minute fast pedaling drills at >110rpm. Then 5minutes at tempo and get ready for your "Sprint B4 the sprint"

This workout isn't only about improving your sprint, but it's about improving your ability to sprint after doing a nice solid pace at 88-93% of your FTP, or what is called sweetspot and then recovering after.Warm-up well with 3 x 1 minute fast pedals at >110rpm, then 5minutes of tempo, followed by 35 minutes of riding at sweetspot, and doing a 20 second "burst" every two minutes. The burst will be at 80% of your sprint effort, but still hard. Be sure to recover back to your previous pace. Cool-down

Tractor Pulls are big gear intervals that are designed to improve your muscular strength, as you push hard as possible against maximum resistance. Stay Seated during these intervals and grip the handlebars tightly and push hard on those pedals for each interval.
Warm-up 10 minutes and then do (3) x 1 minute fast pedaling intervalss >110rpm.
Ride at your tempo pace for 2minutes and then right before the interval, slow down, and let the bike come to almost a stop (so it might take a little practice to get the timing right) and then drill it hard for the entire effort. The goal is to get in 20-30 seconds, but if you get to 90rpm within the effort, then you need to stop the interval or increase the resistance for the next one. Above 90rpm , there isn't enough resistance to create the strength adaptations you are looking for, so keep that cadence low at 50-60rpm and force high!! Weight lifting on the bike, but an an explosive, short effort. Ride at tempo between.
Cool-down.
