Ben Spies takes 7th pole straight
Ben Spies has taken a record seventh World Superbike pole in Utah.
The two TenKate Hondas of Checa and Kiyonari were next, with Ducati’s Fabrizio finished of the front row in 4th. Max Biaggi crashed out in Superpole 2 leaving him in 16th. Haga also struggled after a qualifying crash, to end up in 9th.
In Supersport, Kawasaki starts from pole, courtesy of Joan Lascorz, beating out Eugene Laverty, and Cal Crutchlow. Andrew Pitt crashed on his out lap, earning a trip to the Medical Centre with concussion. A 27th place for Californian Melinda Paris earns her the first ever start for a woman in World Supersport.
