What else can we say about Cassio Dias at this point? We’ll try to figure that out. Plus, Alan de Souza had another strong showing in Sioux Falls, some new faces graced the winner’s circle, and more. Miss a moment of the action this weekend? Here’s what happened around the PBR.

On the Unleash The Beast…

This Cassio Dias guy is, uh, pretty good. In Sioux Falls this weekend, the No. 1 bull rider in the world earned his sixth premier series event win of the season. Not only is he chasing a world title, but he’s also nearing the record for most event wins in a season (8).

Alan de Souza also had a nice weekend for himself – trailing only Dias in qualified rides this season, Souza earned his second consecutive runner-up finish.

The early rounds in Sioux Falls belonged to first-time winners as, in just his second career UTB event, JaCauy Hale won Round 1…

…and Wyatt Rogers won Round 2 for his first career round win after making his UTB debut in 2021.

Meanwhile, on the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour…

Jaxton Mortensen won Round 1 in Fresno, California…

…but Elijah Monnett went 2-for-3 to take the event win.

In the Touring Pro Division…

Old friend Dener Barbosa went 2-for-2 to win the PBR Stockyards Showcase in Fort Worth, Texas.
