Career

edit

Signing with UnitedHealthcare in 2017, was McCabe's first time stepping up to the Pro-Continental level, although he had already established himself as a top domestic sprinter. His stage wins at the Tour de Langkawi and the Jayco Herald Sun Tour were his first professional victories outside of the U.S., the latter being one of the biggest victories of his career.[5]
