The young Japanese talent, 18, officially joined the Moto3 team of Team Estrella Galicia 0.0 this season.

The Japanese rider, who joined the ranks of the Junior Team Estrella Galicia 0.0 in 2019, has proven to be a fast rider, by winning the Junior Moto3 World Cup race at the FIM CEV Repsol.  Yamanaka finished 5^th in the general classification of the category.

This will not be his first experience in the World Cup since last year he replaced in Qatar who will now be his partner, Sergio García Dols and he ran as a wild card in Mugello and Montmeló, where he finished 9^th and added his first points.

In 2020, he became part of Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 in the Moto 3 category.
