2016 Tour de Romandie
The 2016 Tour de Romandie was a road cycling stage race that took place in the Romandie region of Switzerland between 26 April and 1 May 2016. It was the 70th edition of the Tour de Romandie cycling stage race and the 14th event in the 2016 UCI World Tour. The defending champion was Team Katusha's Ilnur Zakarin.
The race included six stages. The first of these is a prologue individual time trial; the five stages that follow include two summit finishes and another, hilly time trial.
As the Tour de Romandie is a UCI World Tour event, all eighteen UCI Pro Teams were invited automatically and obliged to enter a team into the race. Other squads will also be given wildcard places into the race.

UCI Professional Continental teams
Pre-race favorites are Chris Froome, Simon Špilak, Nairo Quintana, Richie Porte, Ilnur Zakarin, Thibaut Pinot, Tom Dumoulin, Tejay van Garderen, Geraint Thomas, Rafał Majka, Rui Costa.
Nairo Quintana has claimed victory on Stage 2 due to Ilnur Zakarin being relegated to second for changing his line in the sprint to the finish.
In the Tour de Romandie, four jerseys are awarded. The general classification was calculated by adding up each cyclist's finishing times on each stage. Time bonuses were awarded to the first three finishers on road stages (stages 2–5): the stage winner won a ten-second bonus, with six and four seconds for the second and third riders respectively. No bonus seconds were awarded at intermediate sprints. The leader of the general classification received a yellow jersey. This classification was considered the most important of the Tour, and the winner of the classification was considered the winner of the race. The young rider classification was based on the general classification: the highest-ranked rider born after 1 January 1990 was the leader of the classification and wore a white jersey.
