Reuters | Hard Tour Makes Armstrong Humble

"Now I've got both feet square on the ground. Before the Tour started I was very confident I'd win but I won't be so confident before next year's Tour," Armstrong said Sunday.

"Now I know that guys like (Jan) Ullrich and (Joseba) Beloki are strong, if not stronger than before and I've learned that anything can happen in the Tour de France.

"Fortunately I think it has set me up perfectly for an attempt for win number six."
