Stage 1 - September 2: Fort-Mahon-Plage ITT, 12,2 km

Dekker impresses

Dutch talent Thomas Dekker (Rabobank TT3) has won the opening stage of the Tour de l'Avenir, a 12.2 km time trial around Fort-Mahon-Plage. Dekker rode the distance in a very impressive time of 14'16 - an average speed of 51.3 km/h - to beat Gustavo Veloso (Relax-Bodysol) by 24 seconds and Christian Muller (German National Team) by 27 seconds.

The stage saw a strong ride by Dekker's compatriot Frank van Dulmen (BankGiroLoterij), who set the early best time in 15'01. He was eventually beaten by Rabobank's Koen de Kort in 14'58 before David Boucher (Auber/Oktos) shaved another five seconds off the best time. Next it was Veloso coming in with 14'41 before Dekker finally erased them all with a great ride of 14'16.
