OAKLAND, California – While Stormy Wing won Round 1 of the Kawasaki Strong Battle at the Bay at the Oracle Arena Friday night, the Professional Bull Riders world title race continued to heat up. Three of the Top 5 riders rode to maintain their positions in the world standings.

Wing rode Game Over for 87.75 points to win the round, while also being the first of 11 riders to cover his bull on the night.

Billy Robinson picked up 86.75 points atop El Capitan (Theiman Bucking Bulls) to place second and Jason Malone took third place with 85.75 points on Sanchez.

To round out the Top 5, Stetson Lawrence covered Closing Time for 85.50 points and fourth place, while Josh Faircloth currently sits in fifth this weekend, after posting 84 points on Houla Hoop.

Current No. 1 bull rider in the world standings Joao Ricardo Vieira earned 75.25 points on White Out to hold on to the top spot, but Fabiano Vieira’s 80.25-point effort on War Party puts him a mere 64.38 points behind in the  No. 2 position in the PBR world standings.
