Andy Schleck, born June 10, 1985, is a Luxembourgish former professional road bicycle racer who was awarded the 2010 Tour de France title retroactively in February 2012 after original winner Alberto Contador was disqualified for a doping violation. He finished as runner-up at the Tour de France twice in his own right, in 2009 and 2011, and won the race's young rider classification three times, in 2008, 2009 and 2010. His other major career win came at the 2009 Liege-Bastogne-Liege classic, and he also finished second overall at the 2007 Giro d'Italia while winning that race's young rider classification. He is the younger brother of fellow professional cyclist Frank Schleck, retired from racing in 2014 due to knee injuries, and now serves as deputy general manager of the Lidl-Trek team.
