1-2 years after being a junior we have 20 year olds winning ToC. Winning USA Pro. Several 20 year olds top 5 for MTB and and CX.
Wiggins (not Wiggans) is 39 and retired. So perhaps you could find 6 U23 riders that could ALL beat him in a 5 min race. But probably not. And if these kids are so hot why aren't they lighting things up in Team Pursuit? Where are they? The US has (checks wikipedia) medaled in Team Pursuit once - a silver in 1984. Get on it. Pick these 6 juniors and win a medal!
