Course The race was due to start and finish in the capital city of Doha, the home base for the Tour of Qatar. The route for the Worlds road races was presented in February 2015, which was made up of a loop of 80 km off through the desert and a finishing circuit in Doha city centre, including 1.2 km off of cobblestones.http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/2016-world-championships-route-unveiled-in-qatar/ 2016 World Championships route unveiled in Qatar Benson Daniel 7 February 2015 cyclingnews.com 2 July 2016 The finishing circuit of 15.2 km off on The Pearl Island was used for a stage of February's Tour of Qatar: riders noted that the course was highly technical, going through 24 roundabouts, with stage winner Alexander Kristoff comparing it to a criterium. However it was also noted that the lack of long straight sections meant that the effect of the crosswinds frequently occurring in Qatar would be significantly lessened, reducing the race's unpredictability.http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/mark-cavendish-and-alexander-kristoff-voice-opinions-on-the-qatar-world-championships-circuit-211280 Mark Cavendish and Alexander Kristoff voice opinions on the Qatar World Championships circuit Rogers Owen 9 February 2016 Cycling Weekly 2 July 2016 Subsequently, in August 2016 it was reported that the UCI had made changes to the course, increasing the amount of riding through the desert to 151 km off and reducing the number of laps of the finishing circuit from eleven down to seven. The start of the men's race was also moved to the Aspire Zone, with the riders heading out northwards towards Al Khor and returning to Doha.http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/changes-to-doha-road-world-championship-course-more-desert-fewer-local-laps/ Changes to Doha Road World Championship course – more desert, fewer local laps 22 August 2016 cyclingnews.com 22 August 2016 Qualification Qualification was based on performances on the UCI run tours and UCI World Ranking during 2016.
