Juniors who have a racing age of 17 or 18 can do Senior nationals, which is why Taylor Phinney was allowed to race and win the pursuit at senior nationals last year and the same reason Rahsaan Bahati and Keith Norris both were allowed to win the elite criterium nationals several years ago, both as juniors.
Incorrect. An 18 year old is still a junior. umd had it right, UNTIL being the key word.

And in agreement with psimet, the OP's friend will have a racing age of 19 next year, and thus will not have to roll out.
