What was the first carbon fiber bicycle raced in the Tour de France?

Trek's OCLV bikes are the most famous, thanks to Lance, but I know that carbon bikes have been around before. What was the first carbon fiber bike raced in the TdF, and who rode it? Also, if it was a TT bike, when was the first carbon bike for the general stages introduced?
