Yamaha's Cal Crutchlow sits on pole (chuckle) for the second World Superbike round @ Portimao in Portugal. Crutchlow's teammate, former WSBK champ/piano tuner/MotoGP flunkee, James Toseland, will start from 15th. Toseland was last seen scrambling around his pit box looking for his little black book of excuses. You think that's sad, then check out the FACTORY Ducatis of Fabrizio and Haga down in 17th and 18th. General Lee Hayden and his ZX10R-series will start down in 24th in front of...well...no one.
