In the past, the search function would not work if the term you searched for only appeared in an image caption. Now it works correctly. Thanks to Dan Cameron for publishing the Search Everything Wordpress plugin. Using that as a starting point, adding image search only took 15 minutes or so.
As always, if you are looking for a rider by name, you probably should start with My JuniorVelo.
Next month the European Championship Athens will be, from 19 - 23 July. Not only the Juniors will ride againts each other, also the U -23 categorie will compete with each other.
Also the Netherlands will send a delegation of Juniors and U -23 riders. Below, you can see a list with the riders who will ride in Athes. I’m one year to young for this, so I won’t ride, hopefully next year I do. My brother Patrick will ride in the U -23 categorie.

My coverage of races away from home is sporadic, but this one caught my eye with the large number of junior racers (at least for a local race in the USA). Check it out: June 15 Ed Rudolph (Northbook) results.
I wish our local program could figure out how to draw so many.
Thanks to a helpful comment from Jorge Romero, I found results from the 2006 Pan-American junior cycling events going on from June 19 to 25 in Venezuela. I won’t display everything on this site, but I am adding many results to the timed event database.
For results, see the index page on the Federación Venezolana de Ciclismo site. As Jorge explained, that page is in Spanish, but the numbered links at the top correspond to the days of the event. The results pages include English labels, so readers of English or Spanish will have no trouble. The appear to be quite prompt with the results, so you can check daily and see what has happened so far.
I see that there are four riders from the USA in the results, even though USA Cycling announced that there would be no team from the USA. If anyone would like to explain how that works, I’d like to know.
