What does "flag to flag" mean? (lemmy.world)

New to watching, keep hearing people talk about tomorrow's race being a "flag to flag" and to me that just sounds like any race since there's a green starting flag and checkered finish flag. What am I misunderstanding?

I was trying to find a good reference but all I could find was bloated SEO garbage.

I think the deal is that a flag-to-flag race is not red flagged when it starts to rain. Instead the riders can switch bikes, which is not normally allowed.
