The Men's team time trial of the 2016 UCI Road World Championships was a cycling event that took place on 9 October 2016 in Doha, Qatar.

[4] The race started at the Lusail Sports Complex and finished at The Pearl Island, after a flat course of 40 kilometres (25 miles).

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.

Both organisations have agreed on a non-compulsory format, with no UCI WorldTour points to be awarded.
