More TERRIBLE NEWS for the Austin Gamblers After This Happened!

Austin Gamblers finish third at the 2026 PBR Teams Championship. The No. 2 seed lost the semifinal 448.70 to 265.80 to the No. 8 seed Arizona Ridge Riders in Las Vegas, and the problems go deeper than one bad night. The Gamblers came to T-Mobile Arena with a first-round bye, three-time world champion José Vitor Leme and a roster full of champions. In this PBR Teams breakdown we go through the semifinal ride by ride, then the numbers behind the loss: a one-man first half, a roster bottom that rode 17 of 44 without Leme, and the front-office choices that left Austin short in the first six-on-six semifinal in league history. Riders in this video: José Vitor Leme, Dalton Kasel, Kaique Pacheco, Sage Steele Kimzey, Callum Miller, Dener Barbosa, head coach Michael Gaffney, plus Arizona's Vitor Manoel Dias and the Ridge Riders lineup. 0:00 - Third Place 0:54 - The Setup 2:21 - The Semifinal 3:48 - Problem 1: One Man 4:40 - Problem 2: The Bottom 5:25 - Problem 3: The Front Office 6:37 - The Arizona Problem 7:16 - The Verdict #PBR #AustinGamblers #PBRTeams #BullRiding #JoseVitorLeme
