In 2016, in the buildup to the Rio Paralympics, Rolfe represented Britain at his second Track World Championships, this time in Montichiari. Rolfe entered the both the individual pursuit and the time trial, winning a bronze medal in the latter. Originally he was not part of the Team sprint as the line-up was intended to be Jon-Allan Butterworth, Kadeena Cox and Jody Cundy, but prior to the Championship Cox was reclassified and Rolfe was brought in as a late replacement. Despite never having raced together, the three posted a final time of 49.268 to win the gold and set a new world record time.
