Valentino Rossi is ahead of his teammate and top Yamaha on what is considered a Honda track.

Second Yamaha, also ahead of Lorenzo, Pol Espargaro is going well.

Stefan Bradl is third Yamaha, also ahead of Lorenzo.

This may be a Honda track, but Yonny Hernandez is helping to rebrand CotA as a Honda-Ducati track.

Bradley Smith was a few tenths behind his teammate but claimed a top ten spot.
