Well, the "current" triples seem to be legacies rather then mainstream parts. They haven't been changed or updated to Campy's newer technology in a decade. The crank still uses a square taper bottom bracket which isn't all bad but certainly indicates a lack of interest.

The 11-speed Athena triple will be a welcome confirmation that Campy is interested in serving it's aging customer base.
