Hopefully Marin will try and replace her with another female rider because riders like Vero are such a positive influence on young girls who probably think they can't do what the boys do....well this is the thing, she shreds way better than any guy I know! Good luck in whatever your next move is Vero!

They still have Martha Gill, who also shreds!

@brit-100: nothing to add here other than I remember you from the original mbuk forum. Howdy old timer!

It’s Awsome to see female riders smash it, rather then them having to post clips of them in gym gear to boost their following.

Wherever she goes she deserves it, ses smashed it in the last couple of years. I'd guess at Canyon CLLCTV

Whoever picks her up has made a good choice. One of the hardest rippers out there, that has really pushed to progress.

Matt Jones is after a pay rise.

Someone has to pay the upkeep on his lambo!

Note to PB editors: You don't have to use the phrase "parts ways" every time someone changes sponsors

Dearly departed from Marin...Miss Sandler will be sorely missed...now on to her after Marin life into the great beyond...

They're leaning into it at this point. It's a poor turn of phrase anyway, and the refrain on these articles is silly at this point.

Can we part ways with parting ways?

She left Pizza Hut to ride bikes? I guess we all have choices to make.

can’t wait to see what the future brings, I’m guessing Canyon.

Gazzamatazzzz (Dec 29, 2020 at 5:18)

I'm guessing Canyon. I'm hoping a UK brand.

Give'r the biscuit, Veronique! Keep influencing girls...and boys...and women and men.

lepigpen FL (Dec 28, 2020 at 11:46)

Is it like mandatory for riders to drop sick edits right before parting with a team? Happens so often, I wonder if it's literally a thing like hey you did that thing on our bikes so please get it posted before contract is up or that will be awkward lol

toawd (Dec 29, 2020 at 0:28)

Or they post all their clips riding that brand's bikes before they are paid to represent a new brand?

liv2mountainbike2 (Dec 28, 2020 at 11:14)

Was just thinking to myself how beautifully sculpted those jumps were in the video. Then I saw the Adidas logo at the end and thought, that's fitting, the logo looks like a jump too! Sorry... just found that amusing

Good luck Veronique where ever you end up!

Good Times clip was awesome. I'll be on the lookout for more.

Wonder just how far into the forest she ejected on that high speed left berm...

alpinecycles (Dec 28, 2020 at 10:51)

It will be interesting to see where she goes. Hoping for the best

Lasse2000 (Dec 28, 2020 at 12:28)

I always nearly get a heart attack when i read these „parts way“ headline. I always read „passed away“ before i get the message. Reminds me of 2018 and 2019 when so many well known riders passed away and we had to read those headlines in a weekly dosis. Could you Pinkbike please use another headline? „Veronique Sandler and Marin end contract“ or something like this? Thank you.

curendero (Dec 28, 2020 at 14:33)

You need to get outside more...

Ba1rog FL (Dec 28, 2020 at 20:46)

@curendero: The biggest part of Pinkbike audience is ESL, so yeah they might be not used to this type of formulation. In my case English is my third language.

curendero (Dec 28, 2020 at 14:29)

Pizza Hut must have been devastated!! Shredding the brown pow Vero instead of the fromage!!

kiteless (Dec 29, 2020 at 14:05)

Made Marin cool again. Even made the horrifically ugly Mount Vision look good. I'm sure she'll do the same wherever she's off to next.

fuzzydunlop (Jan 1, 2021 at 9:59)

Who had Santa Cruz on the bingo card, truly ascend to parts no one else can reach

samfr1000 (Jan 1, 2021 at 10:00)

Doesn't look like anyone did

eeb033 (Dec 28, 2020 at 13:37)

I think I saw a photo of her on Pivot.

barbarosza (Dec 28, 2020 at 20:56)

Nah it was on my fridge Bru

Reignrob (Dec 28, 2020 at 13:52)

Awesome on a bike and beautiful. Who wouldn't want her riding for them seriously. She can sell bikes

jrocksdh (Dec 28, 2020 at 18:43)

Right when the bikes finally lookn good

MuddyFoxCourierComp (Dec 28, 2020 at 20:05)

I thought the 'Good Times' under her name was a clue (GT).

wideopennewzealand (Jan 1, 2021 at 14:57)

what DH bike was that? looks like a Tranny?

tgr9 (Dec 28, 2020 at 12:38)

probably gonna end up on canyon or specialized

samdeatley FL (Dec 29, 2020 at 9:11)

My money is on Transition or Forbidden

That’s pretty cool she pets ways.I mean look at her she s just so darn cute and rides bikes dude s level then also has this cool passion of her own sewing old
Clothes into new ones . That’s so sick . Cool she has all the right words for Marin and very cool they helped her out make a name
For herself ! Hats off to Marin for that , now it’s time for her cute face to associate with some cute bikes.... Santa Cruz would be the match but it’s most likely going to be Camyon which is not so bad to be honest

savagelake (Dec 29, 2020 at 5:58)

how much ambien did u take before writing this?

nsteele (Dec 28, 2020 at 16:43)

bigmeatpete420 (Dec 28, 2020 at 19:37)

Nope they don’t.

barbarosza (Dec 28, 2020 at 20:57)

Would but people don’t
