An Espoir is an under-23-year-old racer. Espoir is French for the word hope. This is for young riders between the ages of 19-22 and is used to develop them between the junior and professional stage. Espoir racing and classifications provide young riders with an opportunity to race against others of the same age to acquire exposure and a mechanism to transition to professional careers.
