Sports / Fitness / Recreation / Cycling | | 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. |

2 hrs confidence: 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)

Asker: Valid point, but in my context it was a road race. Thanks.
