Troy Corser takes his second World Superbike pole position of the season at Misano, but Ducati follow up in second down to seventh.

Still, despite Corser's performance, it was clear which bike was proving best suited to the sweeping Misano circuit after Fabrizio completed the front row ahead of Max Biaggi, while Lanzi held on for fifth on the grid. Although unable to make much of his optimum running position, Jakub Smrz completed the dominant Ducati display with seventh.

Meanwhile, Regis Laconi was impressive again on the PSG-1 Kawasaki in eighth position, the Frenchman helping the home team beat the best of the Suzuki and Honda fraternity.

Indeed, it wasn't a great session for Bayliss' championship rivals, with Max Neukirchner down in tenth – a place behind team-mate Fonsi Nieto -, Carlos Checa in 11th and Haga in 14th position.
