How does Ramp Rate Work

Screenshot 2021-04-23 at 10.30.59

The image shows my ramp and training form, I’m wondering how they are related.
In the image, you can see that the ramp rate was green for 5 days, then suddenly dropped to -6, whilst I’m still in the green zone.

How are they linked? Am I supposed to drop in to the red form to increase ramp?

It’s linked to Load(TSS) and not Form (TSB).

This article might help.

Trainer Road TSS Ramp rate
TSS = Previous week’s TSS + weekly work days *rr
Typically, a weekly ramp rate in the 6 TSS neighborhood (+/- 2 TSS) works well for most riders, so a weekly ramp rate of 15 TSS is not recommended but still useful for our needs here.
