The year might be winding down, but for Julio Cesar Marques, things are just starting to heat up. Miss a moment of the action this weekend? Here’s what happened around the PBR.

On the Unleash The Beast…

The Unleash The Beast closed out 2024 with the PBR Albany, and there were a few major milestones: buckoff king Cool Whip notched his 47^th consecutive buckoff, and Julio Cesar Marques earned the first UTB win of his career with a 3-for-3 showing.

After being blanked in Manchester the previous weekend, No. 1 John Crimber was back in the saddle in Albany, winning Round 1 before finishing fifth overall to further distance himself atop the standings.

In the Touring Pro Division…

Lucas Martins Costa went 2-for-2 to take the event win at the PBR Stockyards Showcase in Fort Worth, Texas.
