He's been Smrz'd! Of all things, Ben Spies' record SuperPole run has been stopped at 7 by first-time pole-sitter Jakub Smrz ... does he call his father "Papa Smrz"? Not only that, Ben was also beaten by Johnny Rae and teammate Fabrizio was close behind in fourth. Then again, both Ben and Michel are still on the front row for tomorrow's WSB race at Misano, so no big deal really. Oh, and Shakey Byrne snagged 5th, ahead of Haga, with Checa and Kiyonari joining them on row two. Biaggi had mechanical problems, but still managed 9th. Track veteran Troy Corser will be starting the BMW from 15th on the fourth row. This giant go kart track is definately a little odd and may provide for an unusual podium. However, even though Spies and Fabrizio didn't grab the first two SuperPole spots, they're still likely to pull ahead over race distance to take the first two podium steps ... provided they stay out of the gravel. Third is seriously up for grabs, but Rae would be a good bet.
