Hayden qualified third, on the sole Repsol Honda this weekend following the withdrawal of Dani Pedrosa through injury, but was three quarters of a second slower than Stoner's pole time on the Ducati.
"I'm happy to be on the front row for my home GP, it's nice," said Hayden. "But it's frustrating, the gap to Casey right now is so big. He's riding so well, I've never seen anybody in this kind of form and right now he's making it hard on us.
"Things have been a little bit rough this weekend but the team have done a good job and the warmer weather this afternoon certainly helped us, so I'm happy.
"I know tomorrow's not going to be easy, the race will be tough, we know that. But anything can happen in the races. We're on the front row so we've just got to line up and give it all we've got and try to have a bit of fun."
