Armstrong finished 40 minutes behind winner Alberto Contador in 23rd place.
"This race has been good to me but I can't lie - I'm ready to retire part two," said Armstrong, who crashed on a number of occasions during the race.
"I was just glad that three weeks of suffering is over and I get to go home. I don't have to stress about racing every day.
"I have a lot of happiness, a lot of good memories, just a lot of good times here.
