Marianne Vos has claimed victory in the elite women's event at the 2026 UCI Gravel World Championships in Nannup, Western Australia, riding alone to the finish after rival Rosa Kloser crashed out near the finish. Dutch riders took charge of the women's competition 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 held on Australian soil for the first time.
