In this week’s BikeRadar news show, Jack Luke is joined by Ashley Quinlan to discuss difficult times at Campagnolo, with news emerging that the Italian brand is planning to cut up to 120 jobs from its Vicenza HQ after posting losses of €24 million. Though unions disagree, the company says it has “no alternative” if it is to return to a sustainable footing. Jack and Ashley examine what the proposed restructuring means for the brand, how we got here, and what Campagnolo’s latest clarification tells us about its future direction. The pair also delve into Campagnolo’s confirmation that it is developing new “intermediate” products, with Jack outlining what he believes the company needs to deliver to stay relevant in 2026 without alienating old-school fans of the brand. Finally, the duo discuss last week’s top-performing story on BikeRadar.com – the nine reasons why your next bike should be titanium. Learn more about your ad choices.
