Sports / Fitness / Recreation / mountain biking and rollerblading
French term or phrase: épreuve de liaison
This seems to be a type of race or group event. In my text, it refers to rollerblading, but there are examples online for mountain biking too.
[sponsor company] propose pour la première fois de son histoire des épreuves en rollers. Il s’agit d’épreuves de liaison sur piste cyclable. Elles ne sont pas chronométrées.
