The Men's road race of the 2016 UCI Road World Championships was a cycling event that took place on 16 October 2016 in Doha, Qatar. It was the 83rd edition of the championship, and Slovakia's Peter Sagan was the defending champion.

Sagan became the first rider since Paolo Bettini in 2006 and 2007 to retain the rainbow jersey,{{cite news|url=http://www.eurosport.com/cycling/world-championships/2016/peter-sagan-wins-successive-world-title-in-doha_sto5914526/story.shtml|title=Peter Sagan wins successive world title in Doha|work=Eurosport|publisher=Discovery Communications|date=16 October 2016|access-date=16 October 2016}} after winning the sprint finish from a select group of riders that had made a break from the rest of the field in the opening half of the race,{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/racing/peter-sagan-wins-world-championships-road-race-290196|first=Nigel|last=Wynn|title=Peter Sagan wins World Championships road race for second consecutive year|work=Cycling Weekly|publisher=Time Inc.

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 {{convert|80|km|abbr=off}} through the desert and a finishing circuit in Doha city centre, including {{convert|1.2|km|abbr=off}} of cobblestones.{{cite web |url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/2016-world-championships-route-unveiled-in-qatar/ |title=2016 World Championships route unveiled in Qatar |last1=Benson |first1=Daniel |date=7 February 2015 |website=cyclingnews.com|access-date=2 July 2016}} The finishing circuit of {{convert|15.2|km|abbr=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.{{cite web |url=http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/mark-cavendish-and-alexander-kristoff-voice-opinions-on-the-qatar-world-championships-circuit-211280 |title=Mark Cavendish and Alexander Kristoff voice opinions on the Qatar World Championships circuit |last1=Rogers |first1=Owen|date=9 February 2016 |website=Cycling Weekly |access-date=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 {{convert|151|km|abbr=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.{{cite web |url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/changes-to-doha-road-world-championship-course-more-desert-fewer-local-laps/ |title=Changes to Doha Road World Championship course – more desert, fewer local laps|date=22 August 2016 |website=cyclingnews.com |access-date=22 August 2016}}

Qualification

Qualification was based on performances on the UCI run tours and UCI World Ranking during 2016. Results from January to the middle of August counted towards the qualification criteria on both the UCI World Ranking and the UCI Continental Circuits across the world, with the rankings being determined upon the release of the numerous rankings on 22 August 2016.{{Cite web |url=http://uci.ch/mm/Document/News/Rulesandregulation/17/80/65/Syst%C3%A8medequalification2016-ENG-Final_English.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=19 August 2016 |archive-date=6 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160806123357/http://uci.ch/mm/Document/News/Rulesandregulation/17/80/65/Syst%C3%A8medequalification2016-ENG-Final_English.pdf |url-status=dead }}{{Cite web |url=http://uci.ch/mm/Document/News/News/17/88/85/QuotasDoha2016-final_Neutral.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=11 September 2016 |archive-date=10 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161010125616/http://www.uci.ch/mm/Document/News/News/17/88/85/QuotasDoha2016-final_Neutral.pdf |url-status=dead }}
