Now, Dave, first year in Monster Energy Supercross, I'm sure there was a lot learned, but just, can you give us a little overview of how it's gone this first season?
21:44
I mean, I think overall we've had a tremendous season, and I mean, it was horrible losing JB in the beginning of the season.
21:49
But I mean, we've had no bike failures, which is completely insane to me.
21:53
I mean, that was always, uh, always on our minds that someone could do that.
21:56
But working with Ziggy and the team has been tremendous.
21:59
Our presence in the pits and just having three iconic brands, Red Bull, Troy Lee Designs, and Ducati together, I think is just...
22:06
It really gave us a, a, a, a big push forward, right, immediately.
22:28
So speak a little bit about what he's brought back to the team and also the relationship and how important it is to TLD for, to have him out here.
10:17
Tell me a little bit more about that.
10:19
So this is an iconic program that NYU started, and it's a real-world program where they, these grad students actually work with iconic brands like Ducati, where they get to come and make, have real-life experiences behind the scenes, where we show them the real culture of everything going on, and give them an internal look of what goes on in our industry here.
10:39
I know this may be a difficult question, but how does something like this get started? Because I'm imagining you pitching this to NYU as Ducati, and they're being like, "Wait, what?" So can you give me any context about how something like this comes together?
10:50
Our CEO, Jason Czynik, and our head of marketing, Phil, those guys reached out to NYU, and through their, you know, talking and all that, it just came together.
10:59
Like, the professor there was like, "How, how great could this be to work with a brand like Ducati that's going into something extremely different from the street division," right? I mean, our off-road division could not be any different from the street division.
