With just one more day to go in the Alps, Team Sky looks set to ride into Paris for their second Tour de France win in a row after the overall contenders marked each other out of stage 19 to Le Grand Bornand on Friday. Chris Froome continues to lead the race, his 5:11 lead over Alberto Contador (Saxo-Tinkoff) intact.
