Hoffman not satisfied yet

Alex Hoffman is currently in Qatar with the other MotoGP drivers. The Pramac D'Antin rider set the ninth fastest time of the day. After the test Hoffman said he wasn't satisfied just yet with the bike's pace.

"This was a good first day of testing," said Hoffman. "We worked a lot so we found the right setting of the GP7, which will allow me to work well tomorrow on the tires, especially on the rear. We will have many options to test and I am sure we will improve a lot.

"I clocked my best lap time alone on the track. I was constant on the pace and this is the most important thing for me. I am not satisfied about the gap but I have to say that ten riders are very close, all in less of a second."

Today, Wednesday, Hoffman is still testing at the Losail circuit. The riders will be testing until Thursday in Qatar.
