Jose Leme

Jose Vitor Leme, is on a trajectory to becoming one of the greatest, if not greatest, bull rider in PBR history. In just three full seasons he has won 13 events, including his PBR debut at the 2017 World Finals, and his 34 Top 5 finishes represents a staggering 49 percent of all elite televised events he’s competed in. A native of Ribas do rio Pardo and a former semi-pro soccer player, Leme never even rode bulls until he was 18-years old. By the time he was 21, he became only the second Brazilian to win the PBR Brazil national title, Brazilian Rookie of the Year and the Brazilian Finals event winner in the same season. A month later, he followed up that feat by traveling to the United States and winning the PBR Velocity Tour Finals and PBR Finals events in becoming the PBR Rookie of the Year.
