Very unlikely he gets to 7. Had Wiggins crashed in 2012 and Froome not crashed in 2014 he'd probably have 6 now and then it'd be conceivable he gets to 8. Lance's 7 consecutive victories is astounding even with all his unique advantages
If the future Tour routes contain a decent amount of tt miles (itt and ttt), I could see him getting 7 Tours. This year was less than a cakewalk because of his altered preparation to do the Tour/Vuelta double, the route being having minimal tt miles, and what seems to be his seemingly intentional plan to not exert too much energy if he didn't have to.
Quintana returning to a singular Tour focus won't change things too much because he will still have that same problem with the time lost versus Froome against the clock and he will now have to also deal with the same problem when it comes to Dumoulin. This same issue is why Bardet and Aru have little hope of knocking Froome off of his throne.
For Sky and Froome fans it's just party time in July for the next few years. For the rest of us we can only hope for someone new to step up their game and become the new world beater in the grand tours. Unfortunately, I don't see anyone on the horizon that seems on the verge of becoming the cause for our hope.
