This ultimate official stage was really interesting in the truck category. First to start this morning, the MAN of the Belgian Noel Essers was lying on its side 25 km after the start. Tomas Tomecek (Tatra), Elisabete Jacinto (MAN), Michel Salavatore (Mercedes) and their teammates tried to help the red truck; but after an hour of tries, they had to ask the balais truck for some help. At the end of the stage, the Czech Tomecek and Moravek won logically this edition, ahead of Elisabete Jacinto MAN’s. Noel Essers, unlucky today, will maybe lost his third place in the overall classification because of this misfortune…
In stage 11 Tomecek did what he had to do: No risks but defending his comfortable lead. The results:
| Position | Pilot (No. – Vehicle) | Time (+lost) |
| 1. | Jacinto E. (401 – Man) | + 7h 45′ 24″ |
| 2. | Tomeček T. (402 – Tatra) | + 07′ 06″ |
| 3. | Salvatore M. (405 – Mercedes) | + 15′ 49″ |
| 4. | Essers N. (403 – Man) | + 3h 05′ 00″ |
