UnitedHealthcare clean-sweep as McCabe wins final stage and Mannion wins overall

Travis McCabe beat Ty Magner (Rally Cycling) and Joe Lewis (Holowesko-Citadel) in the final sprint finish.

The stage saw four riders establish a breakaway including local legend Taylor Phinney and build up a 40 second gaps.

However the UHC controlled peloton didn't want it going away and the breakaway was reeled in with one lap to go.

Sadly, McCabe’s team is without a title sponsor for 2019. The Minnesota-based UnitedHealthcare stated it would not be returning as a title sponsor beyond 2018. Owners California-based Momentum Sports Group are looking for a new sponsor.
