KLIM Dakar Rally Daily from Stage 11 of the 2023 Dakar Rally is LIVE.

Boy, we honestly didn't see this coming. The race at the top of the general classification is off-the-charts close. Less than three minutes separates the top three riders, with first and second place covered by under 30 seconds. That's insane considering what each of these riders have been through. To keep the contenders for the win that close by stage 11 shows how successful the race organizations planning and points system is this year at keeping this a race to the finish. 

In today's show we hear from race stage winner (his third of the rally) Luciano Benavides, Daniel Sanders, Toby Price, Skyler Howes (who is back in the lead of the race),and  Mason Klein (who had a rough day in the race today). 

Then, we get a walking tour of the entire Dakar Bivouac from our unofficial on-the-ground correspondent Ashley House! 

Also, we check in with Original by Motul competitor Kirsten Landman who keeps impressing everyone with great riding and maximum endurance. 

And, last but not least, we get a welcomed update from Paul Neff from the hospital. The world's favorite race updater is being taken care of after a scary crash. We are so grateful to hear from him. 

Enjoy the show!
