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 fell in the closing stages. Dutch riders controlled the women's race throughout the challenging muddy parcours.

Vos was visibly moved at the finish, saying the win carried real weight following a challenging year. The result brings yet another world title to the Dutch veteran's decorated career, with the championship staged in Australia for the first time.
