French term or phrase: épreuve en ligne
Context: events page on a website
Le samedi, épreuves en ligne dames et amateurs.

Not being a huge cycling fan, I don't know how to say this in English. I understand from the French websites that I've seen that it's a road cycling event, but maybe there's a specific name for it that I'm not aware of.

So if you're a keen cycler, maybe you'll know the answer.

In line race


Explanation:
I found this website, the translation given down the page at point 2.

In line appears to be as opposed to against the clock, so you are racing against others, I guess. This is from a Swiss website so maybe it is a Swiss French term?

race


Explanation:
Yes, just "race" because "épreuve en ligne" est en opposition avec "contre la montre" (time trial) et qu'il peut y avoir des épreuves en ligne sur d'autres surfaces que la route ( épreuve en ligne de VTT par exemple, sur terre)
