Other Yamaha riders seem to be unlucky, like Valentino Rossi (Monster Energy Yamaha).
He seemed to be having trouble with his motorcycle and had stopped in the middle of the track.
The top three positions, Alex Rins (1), Joan Mir (2) and Pol Espargaró (3), did not change much until the middle of the race.
