To say that Megan Guarnier (Boels Dolmans) rung out the 2015 season on a high note would be an understatement. The US road champion had the best season of her career to date, and it was a process that was eight years in the making.
Challenging herself to leave home in pursuit of a bike-racing career in 2008 has resulted in a steady progression of skills, strength and goal setting. It all came to a head this spring when she won her first big race overseas at Strade Bianche and her success continued with a second national title and a stint in the pink jersey at the Giro Rosa.
The most important result was her bronze medal at the World Championships in Richmond, Virginia. Not only was it a great way to cap off 2015, it netted the first US women's Worlds road race medal in 21 years, and it gave her an automatic spot on US national team the Olympic Games in Rio this year.
