Patronelli still leads overall ranking

Australian Paul Smith ended up first in the eleventh stage of the Rally Dakar, while Argentina's Marcos Patronelli was in the third place, but still head the overall ranking.

Smith took advantage of a navigation mistake of Sebastián Husseini, and ended in the first place the stage covering from La Rioja province to Catamarca's Fiambalá city.

The Australian was followed by Gastón González, who arrived 4'18 minutes later, and Marcos Patronelli, by 5'42 minutes.

Nevertheless, Patronelli still leads the overall ranking with 1:50:22 hours, over Ignacio Casale, who still wins by an hour against Rafael Sonik (2:46:59 hours behind the leader).
