Marianne Vos has taken out the elite women's title at the 2026 UCI Gravel World Championships in Nannup, Western Australia, riding alone to the finish 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 meant a lot following a difficult season. The result adds another world title to the Dutch veteran's long career, with the championship staged in Australia for the first time.
