Marianne Vos (Netherlands) added to her extensive collection of rainbow jerseys by winning the third elite women’s UCI Gravel World Championships after beating Lotte Kopecky (Belgium) in a two-up sprint in Leuven.

The former multi-discipline world champion Vos shined on the 134km course that resembled a one-day Belgian Classic with lots of flat, fast sections and short, punchy hills and claimed her fourteenth world title.
