And, it also became the fourth pole in a row at Phillip Island and which to-11 throughout 2011, or the fifth consecutive final in five series.

Stoner, who dominated the race since 2007 in public alone, beating its nearest competitor on a Yamaha, Jorge Lorenzo. The leader of the standings is 0.473 seconds ahead of defending champion Spaniard, who became a competitor for the MotoGP world title hunt 2011.
