"I want to be back world championship racing in 2009, whether in MotoGP or WSBK. My aim is to line up with a team that gives me the chance to perform out there and fight for the top spots, which I believe I am capable of," he declared. "I have learned my lessons and believe it best to wait for the right opportunity...!"

27-year-old Hofmann, also a former Kawasaki MotoGP rider, will resume testing for Aprilia in April.
