"textContent": "Campagnolo\n\nCampagnolo's attempted comeback took another step today with the announcement that Matteo Cassina will join the company's board of directors. Cassina, who previously had a career in finance with companies like Goldman Sachs, Citadel and Nasdaq Europe, is the majority owner of _Rouleur_ and high-end framebuilder Passoni, as well as an investor in Zwift and the cycling creative agency Conductor.\n\nCampagnolo said the move bolsters the company's position as it navigates the post-COVID-19 bike boom and bust. The company had struggled in recent years, losing market share in its flagship high-end road segment as bike brands increasingly opted for Shimano and SRAM groupsets; it's relatively rare to find a stock bike equipped with Campagnolo. The brand's high-end road visibility has also taken a hit as its presence in the WorldTour dwindled to a single team, Cofidis, which is now relegated to the sport's second division. And a 2023 overhaul of its electronic Super Record Wireless group fell so flat the company quickly followed with a significant refresh last year.\n\nLucky 13: Is Super Record Wireless finally the groupset it should have been?Just two years after Campagnolo’s flagship road group went wireless, a refresh suggests the improvements are more than just a thumb shifter comeback and an extra cog.Escape CollectiveRonan Mc Laughlin\n\nAccording to the company's own financial reports, it saw a 39% decline in revenue from 2023-2024, marking an operating loss of €15 million in 2024. As the newsletter _Money In Sport_ noted in a recent post on the bike industry's health, that was an outlier among otherwise stable Italian bike brands.\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
