Seven Straight for Spies

Ben Spies now has the all-time WSB record for consecutive SuperPoles ... seven. The riders seem to be struggling a bit with the Miller track, with the normal grid order shuffled and shaken. Biaggi ended up gridding way back in 16th, with Haga doing a little better in 9th. Jamie Hacking is ahead of Haga on the grid in 8th, with Jake Zemk way, way back in 23rd. First two rows go like this: Spies, Checa, Kyonari and Fabrizio, then Smrz, Byrne, Parks and Hacking. I think this will shake up a bit, with Spies running away at the front in both races. I'm thinking Fabrizio on the podium with Spies and then who knows. Could be anybody, with quite different results in the two races. It's possible that Hacking could finish in the top five. Unless Haga gets a really good start, he's going to have a tough time working through the traffic to the front group. he could also make top five. Biaggi won't in either race.
