Three-time World Champion Jos\u00e9 Vitor Leme is officially no longer under contract with the Austin Gamblers. His agreement with the Texas franchise came to an end last week after four consecutive seasons in the PBR Team Series. The news was confirmed through an exclusive interview with Portal Rodeio S.A.<\/strong><\/p>

Even with the contract expiring, Leme made it clear that his departure from the team is not yet definitive. He emphasized that he intends to meet with the Gamblers\u2019 management before making any decisions.<\/p>

Renewal still on the table<\/strong><\/h3>

According to the rider, his long-standing relationship with the organization plays an important role in his next steps.<\/p>

\u201cI have a history of great affection and respect for the Gamblers. We built a lot together in these first four years of the PBR Teams. I won\u2019t make any decisions right now; I want to analyze everything calmly and talk with the Gamblers\u2019 management so we can decide together,\u201d Leme told Portal Rodeio S.A.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Leme, who is experiencing a special moment in his personal life\u2014he and his wife Amanda are expecting their second child\u2014also revealed that he is considering focusing exclusively on the PBR Unleash The Beast<\/strong>, the individual circuit of Professional Bull Riders.<\/p>

Focusing on the individual season is a real possibility<\/strong><\/h3>

During the interview, the reigning World Champion mentioned that he still has important goals to chase in the individual division.<\/p>

\u201cThere are some titles and records I want to achieve in the Unleash The Beast, and dedicating myself only to the individual season would be a way to get closer to those goals. I\u2019m not saying I won\u2019t compete in the PBR Team Series anymore, but it\u2019s a possibility I\u2019m considering,\u201d he explained.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Demanding schedule influences the decision<\/strong><\/h3>

Leme also pointed out that juggling the individual schedule with the team format has become physically and mentally exhausting.<\/p>

\u201cBy focusing only on the individual tour, I would have the other six months of the year to stay home more, enjoy my family, treat injuries, and even return to some open rodeos that I\u2019ve been wanting to compete in. It\u2019s not an easy decision, because I know fans expect to see me in the team competition, so I will carefully analyze all possibilities before making a final decision.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>

First overall pick in PBR Teams history<\/strong><\/h3>

Leme\u2019s journey with the Austin Gamblers is a significant chapter in the history of the PBR Team Series. In 2022, the Brazilian rider from Mato Grosso do Sul became the first overall pick in the inaugural Draft<\/strong>, signing the highest-valued contract in the league\u2019s history.<\/p>

Now 29 and at the peak of his career, Leme is expected to decide his future in the coming weeks\u2014whether by renewing with the Gamblers, joining another roster, or dedicating himself solely to the individual tour.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
