For another three years, GFNY's trademark bright green jerseys will carry the instantly recognizable swirling script of Campagnolo, the Italian manufacturer famed for its Super Record and Record groupsets.
Campagnolo will remain the title sponsor of the New York event, the championship race of the global eight-event GFNY World series, which attracts a cosmopolitan field from over 90 countries.

"Having the most storied brand in all of cycling as title sponsor for our GFNY World Championship in NYC is an honor," said GFNY CEO Uli Fluhme. "Since 2003, I have not had any other component on my bikes. Having such a personal connection to Campagnolo makes this the perfect partnership."
In next year's race, riders with Campagnolo equipped bikes will be able to start from a special Campagnolo pen just behind the racers at the front who have qualified by placing well in their age group at GFNY World events.
"Campagnolo produces the finest products available so athletes reach their true potential whereas GFNY has created an experience in which that potential can be tested fully," said Joshua Riddle, Marketing Manager of Campagnolo. "Riders searching for something more in their cycling components choose Campagnolo. Riders looking for a cycling race above and beyond others choose GFNY."
Campagnolo provides mechanical support during the race, and the bikes awarded to the overall winners male and female are equipped with Campagnolo components and wheels.
Campagnolo also fully sponsors the GFNY ambassador team "Gruppo Sportivo" with Campagnolo Record components and Eurus wheels.
"Our Gruppo Sportivo riders come from all walks of life and lead our free Sunday group rides to get riders ready for race day," added GFNY President Lidia Fluhme. "These guys and gals have become true role models for many GFNY riders. That direct and relatable exposure of Campagnolo is extremely powerful."
In GFNY's bike survey of the around 4,200 riders at the 2016 race, Campagnolo was the groupset of choice for 14% of riders, third in popularity after Shimano 62% and SRAM, 24%.
