The 2016 UCI World Tour was a competition that included 27 road cycling events throughout the 2016 men's cycling season. It was the eighth edition of the ranking system launched by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) in 2009. The competition started with the opening stage of the Tour Down Under on 19 January, and concluded with Il Lombardia on 1 October. Spain's Alejandro Valverde was the two-times defending champion.
Valverde was unable to defend his title, as he finished fourth in the individual rankings. The title was won for the first time by Slovakian rider Peter Sagan for the {{UCI team code|TNK|2016}} team, scoring 669 points over the course of the season. This included victories at Gent–Wevelgem, the Tour of Flanders and the Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec. Second place went to Valverde's {{UCI team code|MOV|2016}} team-mate Nairo Quintana, 60 points behind Sagan; Quintana also won three races overall: the Volta a Catalunya, the Tour de Romandie and the season's final Grand Tour, the Vuelta a España. Third place in the individual rankings went to Chris Froome ({{UCI team code|SKY|2016}}), 45 points behind Quintana and 105 in arrears of Sagan. Froome took two wins on French soil during the World Tour campaign, winning the Critérium du Dauphiné as well as the Tour de France.
Two other sub-classifications were also contested. In the teams' rankings, {{UCI team code|MOV|2016|nolink=yes}} finished top for the fourth year running, with a total of 1471 points. Second place went to {{UCI team code|TNK|2016|nolink=yes}}, 110 points behind, while {{UCI team code|SKY|2016|nolink=yes}} finished in third position. The nations' rankings was headed by Spain, with a points advantage of 29 over Colombia, with Great Britain over 400 points adrift of Spain in third place.
Teams
{{Main|List of 2016 UCI WorldTeams and riders}}
Professional cycling teams were divided into several tiers: the top teams were UCI WorldTeams and were automatically entitled and obliged to enter all World Tour races. The organisers of each race were also permitted to invite other teams – generally UCI Professional Continental teams – to compete alongside the WorldTeams.{{cite web|url=http://www.uci.ch/mm/Document/News/Rulesandregulation/16/82/39/2-ROA-20150619-E_English.pdf|title=UCI Cycling Regulations: Part 2: Road Races page 110 article 2.15.127|publisher=Union Cycliste Internationale|website=uci.ch|access-date=13 January 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150702030045/http://www.uci.ch/mm/Document/News/Rulesandregulation/16/82/39/2-ROA-20150619-E_English.pdf|archive-date=2 July 2015}} The UCI selected the teams based on sporting, ethical, financial and administrative criteria. The number of WorldTeams was limited to 18. In October 2015, 17 teams were granted WorldTeam status by the UCI; these were the same teams that competed in the 2015 UCI World Tour.{{cite news|last1=Powlison|first1=Spencer|title=UCI announces 2016 pro team applicants|url=http://velonews.competitor.com/2015/10/news/uci-announces-2016-pro-team-applicants_387261|access-date=13 January 2016|work=VeloNews|publisher=Competitor Group, Inc.|date=6 October 2015|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160101144521/http://velonews.competitor.com/2015/10/news/uci-announces-2016-pro-team-applicants_387261|archive-date=1 January 2016|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}} In November, the final WorldTeam licence was awarded to {{UCI team code|DDD|2016}}, which had previously competed at Professional Continental level as {{UCI team code|MTN|2015|nolink=y}}. There were therefore a total of 18 teams{{cite web|title=UCI WorldTeams - 2016 Season|url=http://www.uci.ch/road/teams/|website=UCI Official website|access-date=1 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160330164611/http://www.uci.ch/road/teams/|archive-date=30 March 2016|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}} selected for the 2016 World Tour.{{cite news|last1=Wynn|first1=Nigel|title=Team Dimension Data given WorldTour status for 2016|url=http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/team-dimension-data-given-worldtour-status-for-2016-201320|access-date=13 January 2016|work=Cycling Weekly|publisher=Time Inc.

As well as the addition of Team Dimension Data, there were two other changes to the team names for the 2016 season. The team that in 2015 had competed as {{UCI team code|TTS|2015|nolink=y}} lost Saxo Bank as a sponsor and therefore became {{UCI team code|TTS|2016}}, while {{UCI team code|GRS|2015|nolink=y}} became {{UCI team code|GRS|2016a}}, although Garmin remained a sponsor of the team. {{UCI team code|GRS|2016a|nolink=yes}} later became {{UCI team code|GRS|2016b|nolink=yes}} and {{UCI team code|OBE|2016a}} became {{UCI team code|OBE|2016b|nolink=yes}} as a result of mid-season sponsorship agreements.

Events
All events from the 2015 UCI World Tour were included, although some events were scheduled on different dates than previous editions.{{cite web|url=http://www.uci.ch/road/calendar/#date=20161022&view=list&categ=284&country=0&classc=0|title=Road - Calendar|access-date=25 December 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140920202133/http://www.uci.ch/road/calendar/#date=20161022&view=list&categ=284&country=0&classc=0|archive-date=20 September 2014|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}} For the 2016 season UCI put forward a new ranking system to run alongside the normal WorldTour rankings. The new World Rankings ran over a 52-week period like the ATP and WTA rankings in tennis.
The team time trial at the UCI World Championships, scheduled to be held on 9 October, had been due to award points towards the team rankings. In August 2016, the Association International des Groupes Cyclistes Professionels (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".{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/worldtour-teams-set-to-boycott-2016-world-championships-team-time-trial/|title=WorldTour teams set to boycott 2016 World Championships team time trial|work=Cyclingnews.com|publisher=Immediate Media Company|date=10 August 2016|access-date=13 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160913104542/http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/worldtour-teams-set-to-boycott-2016-world-championships-team-time-trial/|archive-date=13 September 2016|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}} However a month later, it was announced that WorldTeams would compete in the event, although not compulsory, and no points would be awarded towards the World Tour rankings.{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/boycott-of-world-championships-team-time-trial-averted/|title=Boycott of World Championships team time trial averted|work=Cyclingnews.com|publisher=Immediate Media Company|date=13 September 2016|access-date=13 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160916100526/http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/boycott-of-world-championships-team-time-trial-averted/|archive-date=16 September 2016|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}
