Current Australian Off Road Championship Champion Daniel Sanders could be on the verge of creating history in the Dakar Rally in his Rookie year as he is within striking distance of a top three finish after finishing 4th in Stage 11 and now sits in 4th overall.
"I rode really good the first part of the stage then got into some dust and was just trying to get through the day with no big mistakes. In the end it was a big relief seeing the finish. Very difficult navigation which I liked and probably the most enjoyable day so far.
"We have a sort special stage tomorrow of 202km looking forward to seeing that finish line. "
Michael Burgess (Destination Dakar Roadbook Adventures) has also had a good Dakar again making improvements in Stage 11 moving into 28th place despite copping dust storms from riders in front of him.

"Many of us, me included, are now even having trouble just getting on and off the bikes because of body fatigue. One of the team has to help me to get all my heavy gear off”, Andrew said. ... See MoreSee Less
