Travis McCabe (Holowesko-Citadel) added the biggest win of his career to his palmares Thursday at the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah, taking the sprint in Kearns ahead Kiel Reijnen (Trek-Segafredo) and Sebastian Haedo (Team Jamis).
The result led to a light-hearted exchange between the two riders at the post stage press conference after McCabe told reporters the win was his biggest so far.
"Because you beat me," Reijnen joked.

"Yeah," McCabe said. "Very few times do I actually beat Kiel in the sprint."
"It's becoming petty consistent," Reijnen said before striking a serious tone to congratulate McCabe on a "well deserved" win. McCabe also beat Reijnen in the field sprint for third two days earlier in Torrey.
For McCabe, Thursday's win was the culmination of years of hard work slugging away on the North American domestic circuit. His third-place finish during stage 2, when he won the bunch sprint behind a two-man breakaway that included eventual stage winner and teammate Robin Carpenter, was just a taste of what was to come.
