Schreurs, along with the other Dutch women—Marianne Vos, Elissa Hartog, and Elisa Serné—was part of a chasing group behind Tiffany Cromwell of Australia, who was leading at the time.

On the wet gravel roads in Nannup, Schreurs was riding at the front of the group on a descent when she lost control of her bike and was forced off to the side of the gravel road. There, she hit the ground hard.
Schreurs was left in pain, and the medical staff removed her helmet while the rider remained lying on the ground, visibly shaken.
TeamNL shares medical update on Schreurs' case
Two days later, TeamNL issued an update. “During the elite women’s race at the Gravel World Championships, Geerike Schreurs suffered a serious crash. She sustained multiple fractures, including a broken neck and thoracic vertebra.”
"The surgery went well. A long rehabilitation process will follow. Fortunately, Geerike is incredibly determined and is doing well under the circumstances," TeamNL said.

- The Civiglio move sounds a bit reckless, but clearly he trusted his legs and his plan. That confidence is exciting—though the team will need to help him manage all the hype now.gearguru3312-10-2026

- Seixas really blew the race apart on the Civiglio. Del Toro’s 28th looks poor on paper, but context matters here. One bad day doesn’t erase the season he’s had.cyclechamp4511-10-2026
