""His group had made the takeover bid for Delmas without looking into the belly of the beast," remembers the former advisor to Pompidou today, modestly specifying his role: "To demonstrate that, if there were temporary difficulties, in the long term Bolloré would regain full strength. And above all, to reassure the twenty or so bankers to protect the group from any nasty surprises when the deadlines come."

"The big operations can resume. Claude Bébéar, the founder of insurer Axa who had supported Bolloré a lot in his raid on Delmas, and had supported him "two or three times during difficult periods," was about to be served: "I like Vincent's conquering side. In rugby, I like these agile breakthroughs by the backs, and it doesn't matter if sometimes they are stopped. Vincent, too, knows how to stop.""

"He took advantage of this to sell Delmas to CGM in 2006. "As I like to say, a good entrepreneur is first and foremost a good cycl-ist!""
