Probably shouldn't break the NDA that i signed, but I'm far too exited to not say that they have done away with the thumb shifter - revolutionary and game changing.

Ha... but I love my thumb shifter. They wouldn't do that, would they?
Unless they had to move it to make space for hydraulic brake levers and bigass reservoirs. Damn discs are ruining everything road

They have given up trying to get their disc caliper working for groupset launch and are using a Magura one.

I would bet all my bikes that Campagnolo wishes the whole disc brakes on high end road bikes thing would just die a timely death and leave the disc brake market to mountain bikes, cruisers, commuters etc.... basically just leave the high end road racing bicycle with high end, high performance, easily serviceable, lightweight brake systems that don't require a complete frame/drivetrain redesign and handling compromises in the form of longer chainstays etc., and added weight.
