Watch for Team RadioShack to take a run at placing Lance Armstrong in the Yellow Jersey at the Podium Ceremony in Paris in 2010!
Lance is looking at the TDF trophy being held in (now former) teammate Alberto Contador's hands as if he will own it next year!
Seven-time winner Lance Armstrong says new Tour de France champion Alberto Contador is so good the Spaniard would have beaten him in his own heyday.
Armstrong finished third behind his Astana team-mate on his return to the race for the first time since 2005.
The American said: "I think this year's performance would have beaten my performances in 2001, 2004 and 2005.
"Contador is that good, so I don't see how I would have been higher than that, even in the other years."
