LAS VEGAS – Silvano Alves went a perfect 6-for-6 to win the Built Ford Tough World Finals and claim his third world title at the Thomas & Mack Center on Sunday.
The 26-year-old put an exclamation mark on his victory by covering 2012 World Champion Bull Asteroid for 87.25 points to conclude the event.
“It really means a lot to me this year,” Alves said, “because at the beginning of the year, I wasn’t riding that great. Thankfully, I was able to stay healthy and come from behind. It means a lot for me to win this Championship again.”
Alves clinched the title when Joao Ricardo Vieira was unable to cover his re-ride bull, Yo Yo, in the championship round. Vieira finishes the season as the No. 2 bull rider in the world.
Bushwacker earned his third World Champion Bull title after earning a bull score of 46.5 points in his last career out, bucking off 2004 World Champion Mike Lee in Sunday’s championship round. The legendary bull posted a combined two-out total of 91.5 points at Finals, outperforming his brother Roy by a quarter of a point.
Roy finished with a two-out total of 91.25 points after teaming up with Eduardo Aparecido for 93.25 points in the final round.
