'It's great to take the rainbow jersey' – Marianne Vos wins Gravel World Championships as Rosa Klöser crashes
Vos takes 15th world title on brutal course in Western Australia
Marianne Vos claimed victory at the UCI Gravel World Championships in Nannup, Western Australia, on Saturday, becoming the first rider to win the title twice. The Dutch cyclist dominated the final 4km, putting distance between herself and her rival Rosa Klöser of Germany, who later crashed in the final stretch. Vos' win means she now holds 15 rainbow jerseys across various disciplines.
Two years after her previous title, Vos showcased her strength on a technical course, with several top riders like Geerike Schreurs and Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio crashing out. Klöser, who attacked from a larger group with around 21km remaining, was unable to maintain her lead and crashed after tightening her shoes. Vos, who praised the challenging conditions and strong performance from her opponent, expressed her delight at securing the championship.
