If you’re anything like us, you’re a big Derek Kolbaba fan. So if you’re anything like us, you really loved what went down in Manchester, New Hampshire, this past weekend. Miss a moment of the action this weekend? Here’s what happened around the PBR.

On the Unleash The Beast…

 

 

It may seem unfathomable, but get this – our boy Derek Kolbaba went 3-for-3 in Manchester to earn his first premier series win since 2017. That’s seven years! Talk about the power of persistence!

Kolbaba may have won the event, but Adriano Salgado earned two huge round wins – including Round 1 – to tie his career high with a third-place finish in Manchester.

PBR Canada’s Tanner Eno hopes to take advantage of his first two Unleash The Beast opportunities and make his World Finals debut in May.

In the Touring Pro Division…

Lucas Fideles Souza and Jean Fernandes Pereira both went 2-for-2 to split the event win at the PBR Stockyards Showcase in Fort Worth, Texas.
