Campagnolo sales are abysmal compared to Shimano and Sram , they position themselves on the super high end despite no pro team wants of their groupsets and they failed the MTB market 24 years ago. Being profitable isn't the strong point of campy . Maybe Campy will met the same fate than Ferrari who was at a time purchase by FIAT.
