Monster Energy Riders Sweep Top Three in PBR Standings as Crimber Stays Red‑Hot

Monster Energy continues to control the 2026 PBR season as three of its athletes — John Crimber, Dalton Kasel, and Clay Guiton — now occupy the top three spots in the world standings, reinforcing what has been one of the team’s most commanding starts in recent years.

Fresh off his event win in Sacramento, California, rising superstar John Crimber delivered another standout performance with a second‑place finish in Salt Lake City, Utah, tightening his grip on the world No. 1 ranking. Crimber’s consistency across the season has set the tone for the Monster Energy squad, who have become the dominant force at every stop so far.

In Salt Lake City, four Monster Energy riders — Crimber, Kaique Pacheco, Clay Guiton, and Daylon Swearingen — advanced to the highly selective Championship Round, making up a full one‑third of the final 12‑man field. Their collective presence in the closing rounds highlights Monster Energy’s depth of talent and championship‑level competitiveness.

Unfortunately, Guiton — who entered the weekend as a top‑three rider — was unable to compete in the Championship Round after sustaining injuries during Round 2. Despite his abbreviated appearance, his performance and season points earned prior to the injury were strong enough to keep him firmly in the elite top tier of the standings.

Beyond holding the top three world rankings, Monster Energy now has seven athletes ranked inside the Top 40. Joining the leading trio are:

• Cassio Dias
• Daylon Swearingen
• Kaique Pacheco
• Jose Vitor Leme

This impressive lineup underscores the team’s overwhelming presence across the premier series and their growing momentum as the season progresses.

Next up, the PBR elite series heads back to the East Coast for a two‑day showdown in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, beginning Friday night — where Monster Energy riders will look to extend their dominance and tighten their stranglehold on the world title race.
