Salt Lake City Photo Finish for Philipsen and McCabe

In a photo finish that was nearly still too close to call, Jasper Philipsen of Hagens Berman Axeon won by a whisker over Travis McCabe of UnitedHeathcare in the Stage 4 circuit race around downtown Salt Lake City on Friday

A day earlier the results had been reversed in Layton when McCabe bested Philipsen at the line for his second stage win at the 2018 Tour of Utah. With two days of mountains looming this weekend, Sepp Kuss of Team LottoNL-Jumbo still has the yellow jersey after his Mt. Nebo triumph. 

The top 10 standings in the overall G.C. did not change.
