Doubt you will ever see Olivier Dazat on the CR list. He has moved on from cycling, which really bums me out. He has a couple of projects that have been in the pipeline for a while that he is finishing and then he is done. He has been a great collector and close friend of mine for many years. I still see him every trip to Paris and am actually having dinner with him this coming Monday.
Emmanuel Dehan, a pal and fellow collector in France, and I purchased Olivier's collection last year. Emmanuel took the posters and I the objects (trophies, jerseys, etc). We divided up Olivier's original photograph collection with Emmanuel taking about 10% of it, while I took the lion's share of 90%. I ended up with about 25,000 photos in the deal. Some absolutely stunning stuff buried in the boxes!
