Julio Cesar Marques is crowned the 2024 PBR Albany champion, gets his first-ever event win on tour, and takes home the forty thousand first-place check. The Pro Bull Riders (PBR) would return to Albany, NY, and the MVP Arena for the fourth straight year and be the top 40 cowboys in the world for their 6th stop on the tour. This would be the second night, also known as championship night, as they cash the 40 thousand payday and the points that go with it as they cash the World Championship and a spot in the world finals at the ATT stadium in Dallas, Texas, right? As they came into the second night of action, world number 1 John Crimber would have the lead by 1 point over Daniel Keeping and Austin Richardson, and there would be 15 that would make the 8 seconds in round 1. When they returned for the second night of action and the second round, the Cowboys kept up their great riding percentage, as half of them rode, with Joao Ricardo Viera getting the best ride at 88.25. Ten riders would be perfect through the first two rounds, with John Crimber leading the pack at 176.25 and getting the first pick in the championship round by a 1 point over Joao Ricardo Vera. Four riders would go a perfect three-for-three when they would go to the championship round in front of a sell-out crowd. It would be down to the last ride of the night, and John Crimber needed an 86-a-board Reality Check for the win, but he would go down at 5.5. With that, Julio Cesar Marques would get his first career win on tour with a score of 262 after he would ride Tulsa Time to score of 88.75 and, with the win, would move into 7th in the world as they head into New York City and Madison Square Gardens next weekend as they continue their quest for the world title.
