Audio commentary by Dirk von Zitzewitz to today's 11th Stage: "It was a hefitge stage, which has somehow been fun. But I think the car has been almost never straight. The last 60 km through the river bed was working only on the Tourareg. Right, left, right, left in the dirt and debris. Sensational, which has put away the Race Touareg there. It was not the most beautiful stage of the race but one of the better ones. For us, it went well. We have passed three Mitsus, Robby Gordon have overtaken. We have swallowed dust and were still doing well. That makes the whole course anyway fun.

The stage from San Juan to San Rafael has two parts. The first half is open desert. Probably with a lot of hard ground. Offpist navigation is not entirely without. Then the second piece 130 km riparian slope with very many waves in it. There is little direction but extremely soft sand and hills and a lot of holes. The number of ne violent. As seen who has a good suspension and who has courage. "

Giniel and Dirk are not among the very fast tomorrow. First, you need to risk anything and secondly they are waiting for the start of a good team worker at the colleague. After 12 minutes the last over. Then it goes on full throttle.

The Dakar Rally 2010 will take until the weekend. There are three stages.
