The championships was moved from the traditional September to October to avoid extreme hot and blustery weather. The event consisted of a road race, a team time trial and a time trial for elite men and women and a road race and a time trial for men under-23, junior men and junior women. It was the 89th Road World Championships and the first time that Qatar and the Middle East hosted the championships.

Norway will now be the host of the 2017 UCI Road World Championships. UCI WorldTeam boycott of team time trial In August 2016 the AIGCP approved a motion for all UCI WorldTeams to boycott the time trial event, due to the UCI insisting that WorldTeams should compete in the event as a requirement of granting a WorldTeam licence without providing a participation allowance to teams, as is the case with other UCI World Tour races. It was reported that the UCI Professional Continental teams attending the AIGCP General Assembly also supported the motion. The UCI expressed disappointment with the move and stated that it "continued to expect excellent participation in this year's UCI Road World Championships Team Time Trial".http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/worldtour-teams-set-to-boycott-2016-world-championships-team-time-trial/ WorldTour teams set to boycott 2016 World Championships team time trial - Cyclingnews.com Schedule All times are in Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3).Events http://www.dohacycling2016.com/events/list/ 30 September 2016 3 October 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20161003095431/http://www.dohacycling2016.com/events/list/ deaduci.ch All you need to know about the 2016 UCI Road World Championships http://www.uci.ch/road/news/article/all-you-need-know-about-the-206-uci-road-world-championships/ 30 September 2016 Date Timings EventDistance Team time trial events 9 October 14:10 15:15 Women's teams40 km on 15:20 16:40 Men's teams40 km on Individual time trial events 10 October 09:30 10:40 Junior women13.7 km on 11:30 15:50 Under-23 men28.9 km on 11 October 09:00 12:30 Junior men28.9 km on 13:30 16:45 Elite women28.9 km on 12 October 13:45 16:05 Elite men40.0 km on Road race events Laps 13 October 12:00 15:55 Under-23 men 165.7 km on10 14 October 08:30 10:30 Junior women 74.5 km on4 13:15 16:30 Junior men 135.3 km on8 15 October 12:45 16:20 Elite women 134.1 km on7 16 October 10:30 16:35 Elite men 257.3 km on7 Courses The races primarily started and finished in the capital city of Doha, the home base for the Tour of Qatar. The initial plans were to have a flat time trial circuit 10 km off, with the men riding it four times, and a larger flat circuit of around 15 km off for the road race. However, UCI sport and technical director Philippe Chevallier stated in June 2013 that the courses did not meet the requirements for a world championship and it had been decided to construct a hilly purpose-built course, like had been done for the 1980 Summer Olympics.'Hilly' course for 2016 Qatar Road World Championships http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/hilly-course-for-2016-qatar-road-world-championships-29255 27 July 2014 Cycling Weekly 17 June 2013 12 September 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20190912082316/https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/hilly-course-for-2016-qatar-road-world-championships-29255 dead Despite this, in February 2014 Sheikh Khalid Bin Ali Al Thani, the president of the Qatar Cycling Federation, said that the organisers would not create a purpose-built course for the World Championships due to a lack of time.http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/no-specially-built-circuit-for-qatar-2016-worlds/ No specially-built circuit for Qatar 2016 Worlds Ryan Barry 8 February 2014 cyclingnews.com 2 July 2016 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. The women started from the Qatar Foundation in Education City, and completed seven laps of the finishing circuit, with a total race distance of 134.1 km off.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 Events summary Elite events Men's EventsMen's road racehttp://www.tissottiming.com/File/Download?id=00030D0207010401FFFFFFFFFFFFFF05 Final Results / Résultat final: Men Elite Road Race / Course en ligne Hommes Elite Sport Result Tissot Timing 16 October 2016 16 October 20162016 UCI Road World Championships – Men's road race Peter Sagan SVK 5h 40' 43" Mark Cavendish GBR s.t.
