Re: Junior vs U-23 vs Elite
U-23, formerly espoire, was instituted to replace "amatuer" racing and
provide a clear step for juniors to take upon entering the senior ranks. They more or less did away with amatuer elite racing to form (in most euro countries) Elite pro racing and elites w/o contracts. U-23's have their own special calendar of racing and the age range is from 19-22 (juniors can't compete in UCI U-23 races) and juniors are U-19, though UCI races limit participation to 17-18 juniors. Hope that clarifies things.
