Megan Guarnier (Boels-Dolmans) - US Olympic long list
Megan Guarnier’s impressive season in 2015 has led to her dream of competing in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this summer. She won her first big race overseas last year at Strade Bianche and her success continued with a second national title and a stint in the pink jersey at the Giro Rosa, but it was her third place at the World Championships that secured her spot for the Olympic road race. Guarnier has expressed her intent to bring the US a gold medal, telling Cyclingnews that it is her “all-encompassing goal in 2016”, and she travelled to Brazil to preview the course ahead of the road season. She is off to a great start, too, having placed second at Trofeo Alfredo Binda-Cittiglio, fourth at Tour of Flanders and took her first win of the season at Durango-Durango Emakumeen Bira.
