Both Dutch athletes add another UCI World title to their already vast collections from different disciplines.
Vos is the third Women Elite UCI World Champion for gravel after France’s Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (2022) and Poland’s Katarzyna Niewiadoma (2023). She claimed her maiden rainbow jersey 18 years ago, with the first of her eight for cyclo-cross (2006, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2022). She also took three UCI World titles in the road race (2006, 2012, 2013) and two more on the track (2008, 2011).
As for Van der Poel, already bronze medallist in the inaugural UCI Gravel Worlds two years

Matej Mohoric survives late crash to win UCI Gravel World Championships solo
Matej Mohorič (Slovenia) survived a late crash and soloed to glory at the 2023 UCI Gravel World Championships, claiming the rainbow jersey after distancing Florian Vermeersch (Belgium) on the climb to Le Serre, 18.6km from the finish in Pieve de Soligo.
Vermeersch kept the gap tight after being distanced but dropped his chain 14.5km from the finish, forcing him to stop and restring it, losing him a crucial 10 seconds in the process on the Slovenian who was on his way to another World title, adding to his junior and U23 rainbow jerseys from the road.
Mohorič wasn’t certain as he hit the final, brutal climb of the day up the Collagu (1.7km at 11.8%), nervously looking over his shoulder, unbeknownst to the mechanical Vermeersch had suffered and to his now 38-second lead over the fighting Belgian.
