The “automatic wing nuts” patent was registered on 8 February 1930, the first of other 135 that would follow over the years. History allows no discounts. What we are today can only be built patiently, with modesty and perseverance. Campagnolo®‘s present, and even more so its future, rests on foundations consolidated by three quarters of a century studded with innovations, ideas and cycling brainwaves. On 11th November 1927, when Tullio Campagnolo was on his own under the first ascents of the Croce d’Aune pass, he was not afraid and did not surrender. So now, as we can count on crowds of friends, enthusiasts and admirers of Campagnolo® products along our path, nothing will stop us. It is specifically from that image from the start of the century that we wish to retrace the salient milestones in our past and present history. The latest update to our components for the 2008 season is in your hands. This catalogue is not a simple listing of a series of cycling components.

  • South Tyrol: a Cyclists' Mecca
    Press Release IDM Südtirol – Alto Adige South Tyrol: A Cyclists’ Mecca In 2019, the “Tour of the Alps” will once again cast cycling in South Tyrol into the spotlight. South Tyroleans love cycling, and what’s more: They also set new benchmarks through their environmental awareness. For the third time already, the Tour of the Alps 2019 will lead professional cyclists across five stages and through three states of the European region Tyrol–South Tyrol–Trentino. This time around, the Tour of the Alps will take place from 22 to 26 April. Three stages—on 23 and 24 April and the final stage on 26 April—will take the professional cyclists through South Tyrol. But pros are not the only ones pedalling hard in our part of the world: Bozen/Bolzano is a genuine cycling capital, because nearly one in three people cycle on a daily basis. There are projects in place all over South Tyrol which aim to popularise bicycles as a means of transportation and integral part of everyday mobility. Here, cycling is the people’s sport, which is promoted with a range of offers and campaigns. “South Tyrol cycles”, for instance, is a project by Green Mobility South Tyrol (hiips://www.greenmobility.bz.it/en/ ). In 2018, almost 4,000 cyclists participated: The total distance covered by them on their way to work or to school amounted to a whopping 3.2 million km! Plenty of cycling is not only good for the body, but also for the environment. All that cycling prevented approx. 300 tonnes of carbon dioxide from being emitted into South Tyrol’s atmosphere (hiips://www.su edtirol-rad.com).

  • ENEL the 33Rd Edition Gets Underway on Sunday 7Th July 2019
    PRESS RELEASE MARATONA DLES DOLOMITES – ENEL The 33rd edition gets underway on Sunday 7th July 2019 The 33rd edition of the Maratona dles Dolomites - Enel is dedicated to Duman, meaning “tomorrow” in the local Ladin language: a tomorrow that is particularly focused on Mother Earth - the planet that we have seriously endangered without realising that, by doing this, we’re also endangering ourselves. However, we want to be optimistic, which is why we're looking towards the future convinced that, already today, there is plenty that we can and must do in order to improve this situation. In our own small way, when we think about the future, we think about the Dolomite passes closed to traffic - without phantom tunnels that put a hole in the earth’s belly - and we think about the many people who, in the shadow of this UNESCO world heritage site, can enjoy the silence, beauty and newly unspoilt, fresh air of the Dolomite mountains. When we think about tomorrow, we realise how much effort we make and how much discipline is needed to organise the Maratona dles Dolomites - Enel and, above all, we think about the great enthusiasm that over 9,000 cyclists will be bringing to the event. When we think about tomorrow, we think about the big party that will be held once again this year, thanks to all the volunteers who’ll be giving us a hand, and all those who continue to believe in this dream that really can come true. NUMBERS AND ROUTES This year, we received 31,600 requests for the usual 9,000 places available.

It was the type of explosion A used to trigger avalanches in the Dolomite mountains in Italy’s northeast. The riders then began to slide out from their staging corrals. Right at the start line, a brass band began playing Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train.” It was 6:30 a.m. Fifteen minutes before, a live broadcast of the event had started on Rai 3, Italian public television, and would continue for roughly six hours, although many cyclists would be on their bikes for eight to nine hours, just as food, medical and mechanical support would begin to close up. But just after dawn, the Maratona dles Dolomites–Enel, a gran fondo that wraps a cycling carnival around a test of endurance, just got started. I had a ridiculously low bib number, 146, which put me in the first wave. As we rode the first 4 km from La Villa to Corvara, we filled the width of the closed road. Many riders were hammering Dolomites-Enel to get by the mass of people and bikes. There was a crash, which I thought was just dumb. There’s no dles cash for finishing first. Pros are not supposed to participate, but if they get special permission, their times aren’t recorded. Why risk a fall? In Corvara, the inclines of Passo Campolongo really showed Maratona themselves. The road was still full, but calmer as everyone settled in for the 6 km that averaged 6.1 per cent.

Half the cyclists are Italian, the other half come from all five continents. The best- represented European countries are Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Denmark, and the cyclists who have travelled the furthest hail from Singapore, Saudi Arabia, China, Kenya, New Zealand, Australia and Brazil.
