It was a big weekend for Colten Fritzlan in Albuquerque as he notched the second premier series event win of his career. Plus, Dalton Kasel stayed hot, Cassio Dias made his presence known, and more. Miss a moment of the action this weekend? Here’s what happened around the PBR.
On the Unleash The Beast…
Colten Fritzlan went 2-for-3 at this weekend’s Ty Murray Invitational, presented by the Downs Racetrack & Casino, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to notch the event win. His only prior UTB event win was in January of 2021 – in his premier series debut.
Riding some red-hot momentum, Dalton Kasel took the lead after the first night of Round 1…
…ultimately splitting the round win with Flavio Zivieri.
The best time to make a splash is in your very first premier-series ride, and that’s exactly what Cassio Dias did. The 2022 PBR Brazil Champion finished fourth in Round 1 of his UTB debut and just his sixth event in the United States.
Last week, 2021 YETI World Champion Bull Woopaa retired from competition…
…and riders reflected on the legendary bull’s career.
Meanwhile, on the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour…
In the Touring Pro Division…
