Megan Guarnier è la campionessa statunitense in linea, dopo che si era selezionato un gruppetto di dieci ridotto poi a cinque la Boels Dolmans ha sfruttato la superiorità numerica, mandando all'attacco Evie Stevens al penultimo giro mentre Guarnier stava a ruota con Neben, Wiles e Coryn Rivera ad inseguire (a dire il velo ha fatto quasi tutto Amber Neben). A lungo Stevens ha mantenuto una manciata di metri di vantaggio, riuscendo ad aumentare ulteriormente sull'ultimo muro prima di essere definitivamente ripresa e staccata negli ultimi chilometri. Neben si è rialzata prima dello sprint dopo essersi spompata per chiudere su Stevens e aver provato ad anticipare prima dell'ultimo chilometro così come aveva fatto anche Wiles sempre chiuse però da Guarnier, allo sprint Rivera sulla carta più veloce ma nettamente più stanca è stata battuta da Megan Guarnier al suo secondo titolo nazionale dopo quello del 2012, con Tayler Wiles sul gradino più basso del podio.
