LEME VICTORIOUS IN ONTARIO, RISES TO NO. 3: Two-time PBR World Champion Jose Vitor Leme tallied his first victory since winning in Sacramento, California, in February of 2023 by going a perfect 3-for-3 in Ontario, California, two weekends ago. 

Bouncing back after a rare shutout in Tucson, Arizona, Leme finished tied for fifth in the opening round after topping I’m Him for 87.5 points. Now having found his groove, the closer for the 2024 PBR Teams Champion Austin Gamblers rocketed out of the chutes on HomeBru for a round-winning 90.25 points, placing him second behind No. 2 Dalton Kasel heading into the Championship Round. 

After picking Umm as his final animal athlete opponent, the Brazilian superstar wowed the California crowd by topping the powerful bovine competitor for a monstrous, event-high-tying 90.5 points to catapult to the top of the leaderboard in the penultimate out of the event. Kasel, who held the lead heading into the Championship Round for the second-consecutive event, attempted to respond aboard Reality Check but was unable to make it past 7.16 seconds, finishing the event fourth after going 2-for-3. The Texan won the opening round courtesy of an impressive 90.25-point outing on Coach. Kasel looks to get off to another hot start this weekend aboard Fringe Minority while Leme looks to keep it rolling aboard Windmill in Round 1.
