Dutch term or phrase: permanentie
No doubt some French influence here, but what would you call this in the context of a cycle race? The text is the 'wedstrijdreglement' for next year's Driedaagse De Panne-Koksijde.

ART. 4 – PERMANENTIE.
De permanentie is voorzien in het Casino van Middelkerke, Centrum Zeedijk, op maandag 26.03.2012 van 15u00 tot 16u45. De inschrijving van de deelnemers en het ophalen van de rugnummers door de ploegleiders is voorzien van 15u00 tot 16u45.
De vergadering met de ploegleiders, georganiseerd volgens art. 1.2.087 van het UCI reglement, in aanwezigheid van de leden van het College van Commissarissen is voorzien op maandag 26.03.2012 om 17u00 in de permanentie, Casino van Middelkerke, Centrum Zeedijk.
