Nashville – The Nashville Stampede, Music City’s first-ever professional bull riding team set to compete in the inaugural PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Team Series, announced today that the team has signed three-time PBR World Champion Silvano Alves (Pilar do Sul, Brazil) via free agency. As one of the sport’s legends, Alves has his name firmly etched in the PBR record books, as the first rider to win consecutive PBR World Championships in 2011 and 2012. Moreover, he is one of only two three-time PBR World Champions, winning a third title in 2014 to match Adriano Moraes (1994, 2001 and 2006).

Adding to his long list of accomplishments, Alves is also one of only two riders to be named Rookie of the Year (2010) and World Champion (2011) in consecutive years. The affable Brazilian has also won more than $6.3 million in career earnings, ranking him second amongst all-time money earners. During the 2022 individual season, Alves qualified for his 13th consecutive PBR World Finals concluding the campaign ranked No. 39 in the world. Since the PBR World Finals in May, Alves has been a consistent force on the Challenger Series, registering seven Top 10 finishes across 11 entered events. Alves joins fellow PBR World Champion and first round Draft pick Kaique Pacheco, along with 12-time PBR World Finals qualifier Ryan Dirteater, who unretired to compete in PBR Teams, on the talent- packed Stampede roster, coached by two-time PBR World Champion Justin McBride.
