After dominating the test earlier this week and Friday practice session, Nicolo Bulega stamped his authority by securing pole position at Superpole session in Phillip Island
Bulega posted 1:28.824 in a disrupted qualifying session, after Iker Lecuona fell at turn nine in the early minutes bringing the session to a halt.
Toprak Razgatlioglu snatched second on the grid after doing his lap time in Bulega's slipstream, less than one-tenth-of-a-second from the Aruba.it Racing Ducati rider.
Andrea Iannone carried his strong Friday pace into the Superpole session, beating Alvaro Bautista (who qualified fourth) for the last place of the front row, with Danilo Petrucci completing the top 5.
Andrea Locatelli is the top Yamaha man in eighth, ahead of fellow Remy Gardner and Alex Lowes in ninth and 10th, respectively.
After crashing in early session, Iker Lecuona is the only rider who didn't post a lap time. The Spaniard was declared unfit at the circuit medical centre having sustained a fracture in his left foot.
Six-time world champion Jonathan Rea is sidelined after a nasty crash in testing earlier this week.
Race 1 of Australian WorldSBK Round would held at 16:00 local time, or 05:00 GMT.
