Armstrong will win as many Tours as he wants to, that's what the Master Himself says:

I believe he can, but this tour is turning into a snoozer. Lance just riding along with the pack, making sure that noone cuts into the lead - which is the way to go, but it makes for some boring stages. I want to see him rip up a few stages!

Eddy's not the only one who thinks so:

Well that kills it for me.

I was just about to get into racing but as long as Lance is around I've got no chance of winning the Tour.

Oh well, I'll just go back to commuting and long distance cycling.

did you guys see his interview/webcast ?
http://www.intercastone.com/Events/Nike_Public_LA/Event/index.html
it's a great interview from Paris this morning.
He is already thinking about next year, and tryiing his hardest to keep the team together with the same guys.
I think he'll get most of them to return, although he has 5 guyswho's contrat is running out with USPS, although many of the key guys are staying.
I think if he has the same core team next year, Lance will easily win a 5th.
