Arriving in Sioux Falls a mere 61.5 points behind world leader Jose Vitor Leme (Ribas do Rio Pardo, Brazil) the “Ice Man” has a lot on the line over the three-day weekend in South Dakota. With Leme out for another weekend due to injury, it provides Pacheco the opportunity to gain ground and potentially surpass him as the world title race heats up ahead of the PBR World Finals in Fort Worth, Texas, May 12-21.
As the muscular animal athletes of the PBR showcased their agility and strength, dominating all but five men on Friday night, the 28-year-old, who rode for the Nashville Stampede during the inaugural PBR Team Series in 2022, was paired with Soul King (Blake Sharp/ Cody Gill/ Marcus Cannon) as the last ride of the night.
No stranger to success in South Dakota, having won the Sioux Falls annual event twice before, the former champion launched from the chutes aboard the powerful bull. Pacheco recorded a standout 88.25 points to take the lead in Round 1.
The three-day event in Sioux Falls showcases a unique format for UTB fans. The draw features 60 riders competing in Round 1, which will involve riders split into two groups across the first two nights of competition.
Friday’s Round 1 featured the riders that will compete in Saturday’s 15/15 Bucking Battle plus 20 additional riders, while Saturday night the 25 riders who did not compete on the opening night will finish out Round 1.
On Sunday, all seeded riders and riders with exemptions are guaranteed to ride, plus any of the additional riders that recorded a qualified ride in Round 1. This will be followed by the championship round, featuring the Top 12 in the event aggregate.
