UCI Gravel World Championships 2026 live streams will showcase the fifth edition of the event and the first time it has left Europe, as it heads to the verdant surroundings of Nannup in Western Australia.
Gravel cycling’s best riders may not garner the same kind of headlines as such flashy road counterparts as Tadej Pogačar and Remco Evenepoel, but it’s arguably an even more grueling pursuit. And the race organizers certainly haven’t considered going easy on the field in Nannup – the men’s and women’s courses go for 144km and 125km respectively, taking in climbs of more than 3,000m, and all on surfaces made up of at least 80% gravel. The riders will be begging for extra legroom when they come to embark on their long flights home!
Belgian Florian Vermeersch will try to become the first two-time world champion on gravel, but last year’s winner will face touch competition from compatriot Lukas Malezsewski, European champ Mads Würtz Schmidt, and US wildcard Keegan Swenson. On the women’s side, however, Lorena Wiebes won’t be back to defend her title. Fellow Dutchwoman Marianne Vos was a photo finish away from making it two straight golds last year and is expected to be strong again this time around. Sofía Gómez Villafañe, Australian hopeful Nicole Frain, and rankings leader Wendy Oosterwoud should all be there or there abouts with her.
