Stage 11 stands as the ultimate test of the second week, with its capability to redefine the standings across all categories. Spanning nearly 500 kilometers, the majority of the stage unfolds over desolate and rough landscapes, posing the final endurance test for the riders. Car drivers, who previously endured hardships in stage 2, should brace themselves for this segment. It is anticipated to be a stage with a high risk of punctures, potentially the most in this edition of the rally.
