Marianne Vos has taken out the elite women's title at the 2026 UCI Gravel World Championships in Nannup, Western Australia, soloing to the rainbow jersey after rival Rosa Kloser went down close to the line. Dutch riders dominated the women's field throughout the wet and muddy circuit.
Vos was clearly affected by the result, saying the win carried real weight following a difficult season. The result adds another world title to the Dutch veteran's long career, with the championship held on Australian soil for the first time.
