Guarnier goes for broke on the Huy in Flèche Wallonne

American Megan Guarnier was quietly - and arguably rightly - satisfied after she claimed a third place in the Flèche Wallonne, her highest finish in a World Cup. Although winner Anne Van Der Breggen (Rabo Liv) took a well-raced victory, Guanier, riding for rival Dutch squad Boels Dolmans, still managed to get on the podium despite an untimely mechanical issue, thanks to good team work.
