Australian Katie Mactier won the prologue of the 24th Tour de l'Aude on Friday in the streets of Gruissan.

The flat course clearly suited the Australian, despite a swirling wind at the seaside resort. Ellen Van Dijk was second in the 3.9km time trial with American Alison Powers third.

Saturday brings the 106 racers a 113km road stage.
