# 2016 Giro del Trentino

The 2016 Giro del Trentino was a road cycling stage race that took place in the Trentino region of northern Italy between 19 and 22 April 2016. It was the 40th edition of the Giro del Trentino and was rated as a 2.HC event as part of the 2016 UCI Europe Tour.
The race included four stages. The first was a 12.1-kilometre (7.5 mi) team time trial. The remaining stages were all mountainous, with Stage 2 ending with a summit finish in Anras. The previous year's champion, BMC Racing Team's Richie Porte, chose not to compete. The principal favourites for victory were Mikel Landa (Team Sky), Romain Bardet and Domenico Pozzovivo (both AG2R La Mondiale) and Vincenzo Nibali (Astana).
After Astana won the opening team time trial, Landa won the second stage with its summit finish. The last two stages were both won by Astana's Tanel Kangert. Despite the bonus seconds won by Kangert, Landa won the general classification by two seconds. Kangert's teammate Jakob Fuglsang was third, 14 seconds behind Landa.
