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 visibly moved at the finish, saying the win carried real weight following a difficult season. The result delivers one more world title to the Dutch veteran's long career, with the championship staged in Australia for the first time.
