Veronique has been cruising about her local spots on her V10 after recently moving to Santa Cruz Bicycles. After a long time spent at home due to the pandemic, Vero has been stoked to hit the road in Europe again, first getting a quick warm-up in Morzine before trucking to Audi Nines. We caught up with Vero to see how she's set up her bike for this week.
