Lots of guys who go on to be top pros do not race as juniors or simply
don't ride seriously as juniors.
Since we're talking about Jr worlds not Jr natz, name the top international
pro men who did not ride seriously as juniors.

Evanshine was merely the biggest fish in a small pond. Junior racing is
an illusion; it has shallow competition and top talent rarely rises to the
top in the junior ranks. Michael Jordan wasn't a stand-out basketball
player when he was under 18.
Kobe Bryant. Kevin Garnett. Lebron James. (Presumably) Greg Oden. Probably a
lot more.

If you don't believe me that junior palmares are bogus, just ask Magen
Long.
Of course US Jr women titles are bogus. How many US jr women licensees are
there? How many girls would be state/district champions simply by their mere
appearance in the start line? Everything you said about Junior racing is
correct for US racing. I dispute it on the world level.
