No. 2 J.B. Mauney trails by just 19.75 points following Round 3 of PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals
LAS VEGAS –The most dramatic PBR World Finals reached the midway point Friday and for the second night in a row there is a lead change atop the world standings.
Twenty-four hours after relinquishing his lead to J.B. Mauney, two-time defending PBR World Champion Silvano Alves rode Showboat (Circle T Ranch & Rodeo) for 89.5 points and finished second in the round to regain his familiar position as the No. 1 ranked bull rider in the world.
Only this time, his 19.75-point advantage is the narrowest margin of any lead this season.
Alves, who just last year became the first back-to-back World Champion in the 20-year history of the PBR, is trying to win his third consecutive gold buckle in only four seasons on the Built Ford Tough Series – something that has eluded Mauney for seven previous years.
The 26-year-old from Moorseville, N.C., followed Alves’ big moment with another of his own when he covered JW HUGHES’s Excavation (Cody Ohl/JW Hughes) for 89 points and a third-place finish in Round 3 at the Thomas & Mack Center.
After the third round, Mauney is atop the event average with a three-bull total of 271.5 points followed by L.J. Jenkins (264.25), Guilherme Marchi (256.75) and Alves (252.75).
“This is the tightest race I’ve ever been in – even coming into the Finals – and it’s like two fighters trading blows,” said Mauney, who was clearly exhausted afterward. “It’s been a long time since my mouth’s been dry before I got on a bull and it’s happened every night since I’ve been here.
“It’s great. It’s fun. It pumps me a lot more knowing that I (have) to ride. I just put it in my mind to have fun and keep trying and don’t quit.”
Alves is also feeling it. “It’s very emotional,” He said. “I’m happy. I had a good score, good points, so I’m very happy. J.B. had a good score and a good ride. This is the best bull riding and it’s a good competition.”
Alves will have the second pick in tonight’s bull draft for Saturday’s fourth round followed immediately by Mauney, who has the third pick by virtue of their Round 3 finishes.
Stormy Wing won Round 3 with 91.25 points on Nitro Carrillo Cartel (4C’s/Sills) to open the competition. Carrillo Cartel is retiring after this weekend’s event, but, according to PBR Livestock Director Cody Lambert, he’ll have one more outing Sunday in the long round.
Following Wing, Alves and Mauney was newcomer Matt Triplett with 88.75 points on Whiskey’s Rebel (Boyd/Floyd/Denherder) and Jenkins, who rode Delco (Jeff Robinson Bucking Bulls) for 88.5 points and needed assistance to the sports medicine room after straining his left groin.
Round 4 of the 2013 PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals starts at 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26 at Thomas & Mack Center. It will air live on CBS SN at 9 p.m. ET.
