This event was held on 1 February 2014 as a part of the 2014 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships in Hoogerheide, Netherlands.

[1] It was won by Marianne Vos of Netherlands, grabbing her seventh title, the sixth in a row.

[2] Katie Compton of the United States, one of the two main favourites, had a terrible first few minutes, getting her bike stuck in someone else's.

By the end of lap two the gap had widened to 23 seconds on Lechner, 48 on Sanne Cant of Belgium and 51 on Wyman and Compton who managed to get past the rest of the pack.

Compton continued her comeback, made the jump to Cant and immediately worked on biking towards Lechner.
