Sterilgarda Yamaha's Ben Spies has broken countryman Doug Polen's pole posiion record at Miller today, setting his seventh pole position in a row this evening.

Spies was the only rider who still had a qualifying tyre left for the final  session and was more than half a second faster than last year's double winner Carlos Checa.

Rain was spitting on parts of the track for most of the third session which seemed to hamper Michel Fabrizio who round out the front row. Jakub Smrz heads the second row with Sterilgarda Ducati's Shane Byrne in sixth, Broc Parkes in seventh and Jamie Hacking in eighth.

Byrne was the only British rider to survive the second knockout session as rain threatened to bring it to a premature end. Byrne was on his second qualifier to put in a 1'49.510.

Championship leader Noriyuki Haga was knocked out, as was Aprilia's Max Biaggi who crashed early in the session and managed to get back to the pits but to no avail.

Leon Haslam and Jonathan Rea were caught out as the rain couldn't decide whether it not it was going to fall plus debris from Biaggi's crash got in the way of a number of riders.

Kawasaki stand-in Hacking set the fastest lap of the first session on his last, just pushing former AMA Superbike competitor Spies into second with Smrz in third, who set his time with four minutes to go.

Byrne crashed after he set a time which was good enough for 11th and the rest of the remaining Brits were quick enough to make it into the second session but former British Superbike Champion Gregorio Lavilla was knocked out.
