But back to the topic at hand. CT recently stated in a podcast that this groupset was make or break for Campy, and that if it wasn't a hit then the company's future was uncertain. Based on what Velocipede has posted so far it looks like they spent their financial, creative and intellectual capital smartly.
Love the graphics, and the gearing is incredibly well thought out. The 10-42 (SRAM) or 11-46 (Shimano) range was always perfect for gravel applications, but the jumps in the middle were too jarring for everyday riding. The addition of two cogs should help a ton.
Wonder if the larger pulley wheels are there to offset some of the additional drag from the 9 and 10t cogs. Can't wait to see the bikes this gruppo is spec'd on.
