2011 Tour de France Standings Update, Stage 19

It's a family affair atop the general classification of the 2011 Tour de France as Andy Schleck made his move and captured the yellow jersey on Friday. His brother, Frank Schleck, sits just behind, 53 seconds off the pace and in second place in the overall standings. The two are followed closely by Cadel Evans, who is just four seconds behind Frank Schleck and 57 seconds off the pace.

For Alberto Contador, the road to a Tour de France victory is now an uphill battle, with 3:55 separating him from the yellow jersey and only Saturday's time trial ahead as a chance to gain ground. Barring something spectacular, it looks like the fight for the 2011 Tour de France will come down to the Schlecks and Evans as they race against the clock for 26 miles in Grenoble.
