Begining his career in Brazil as the 2015 PBR Brazil champion, Luciano De Castro made his way up the leaderboards stateside quickly. After logging back-to-back Top 10 seasons in 2018-2019, Luciano battled injuries and stepped back from the spotlight in 2020-2021. He returned to his flawless championship form in 2022, recording his third season ranked inside the Top 10 riders in the world. As the Ridge Riders first-round draft pick in the inaugural PBR Teams Draft, Luciano helped propel the team to a 13-15 record at the end of the 2023 regular season.
