Stage 1 - August 7: Vittel time trial, 7km
Milatz takes lead in Hexagonal Tour de France
Ninety riders started the 8th L'Hexagonal Tour de France VTT with a stage one time trial at Vittel.
The Australian, German, Belgian and Italian teams were there preparing for the Olympics - along with World Champion Christoph Sauser. Julien Absalon was absent - off preparing in the South of France on his own for the Olympic race.
Rain and hail, which piled up on the course, slowed the progress of the last racers; however, German Moritz Milatz enjoyed favorable weather on his way to a win of the stage and an early lead in the overall. Alban Lakata, who finished second, will wear the points leader's jersey.
Fletcher Davis won the best young rider award, and Costa Rican Paulo Montoya was named most combative racer.
Among the women, French champion Laurence Leboucher won the stage and now leads the overall.
