Britain's Jake Dixon ended the Qatar Moto2 test feeling as though he has found the limit of his Nieto KTM and was unable to eek out any more pace at the desert track.
Dixon finished two seconds off the pace at Qatar and has some thinking to do in order to get over a brick wall he has run into.
“I’m not really happy tonight because the feeling with the bike still isn’t how I want it to be. I can do the same lap time every time but it feels like we’ve found a limit and the bike won’t let me go any faster," said Dixon.
"We didn’t do so many laps tonight because we are trying to find a solution to fix this problem but we have a few days off now to think of something that will give me a better feeling for the race weekend. Then we’ll come back and chip away again.”
