Lance Armstrong, the Texan rider who is currently with UCI ProTeam Astana alongside 2009 Tour winner Alberto Contador, won the Tour seven times in a row between 1999 and 2005 - not only is this a record for consecutive wins but is also the most Tour wins by any one rider (the next highest, shared by Miguel Indurain, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Jacques Anquetil, is five wins).

Armstrong is currently organising a new team, named Team RadioShack after its chief sponsor, to compete in the 2010 Tour.

Lance Armstrong did win several times, but has since then been stripped of his titles due to doping.
