Four riders of the Rabobank Tour de France team have come down with illness. The team's health declined after the finish of the tenth stage of the race.

The expectation is that the riders will have to refrain from competition until the eleventh stage.

Lars Boom and Bram Tankink were visibly ill in the journey from Chambrey to Gap and teammate Girscha Niermann sat out of today's races.

Koos Moerenhout has missed the last two days of the Tour, but remains in high spirits. "I feel better than yesterday," he posted on his Twitter account this morning.
