Dutch term or phrase: tussenstuk

'X zal de tussenstukken racen' - this refers to a co-pilot driving the 'tussenstukken' in a road race, while the main driver does the main sections. Does anyone know the right term please?

Many thanks!

Explanation:
http://www.autoracing1.com/htmfiles/2002/CART/0726VancouverF...
Although CART black-flagged us for speeding on pit lane, the data showed that we were not so we lost laps doing a drive through. At the end we were faster than the pole time in the *** intermediate section *** and were confident that we'd be on the front row, but we got our session cut short because of (Bruno) Junquiera's red flag."

Not an expert in this field, though...

course section

Explanation:
Maybe... Dit artikel verwijst naar pilot co-pilot change, the course, sections of the road. Dit is een lange race (300+ miles of zo). Een tussenstuk is meer van toepassing op een kortere race? A guess... Het is niet letterlijk een "tussen"stuk maar wel een stuk....

1 hr confidence:

in-between sections

Explanation:
This is relatively informal, but it may work depending on the register and how the other sections are described (e.g driver X will drive sections A, B and C, while driver Y will drive the in-between sections)
