Elias: Still a lot to improve

Alice Team rider Toni Elias was positive about the floodlights in Qatar, but he realised after a full day of testing the team has a lot of work to do improving the team's bike.

"We have a lot to improve," Elias said, "but we are sure we have found the right way to follow. The track is more than acceptable and, notwithstanding some wind and sand, we have managed to ride without too many problems. Surely the most complicated thing will be to find the right pneumatics due to the low asphalt temperature. I would say that my feeling with the bike has improved a lot compared to the weekend in Jerez. We consider ourselves satisfied of the work done today."
