The 2009 Tour de Romandie (63rd Edition) cycling road race started on 28 April. And finished on 3 May in Switzerland. It was the: 6th event in the——2009 UCI ProTour, and the 12th event in the World Calendar.

In addition——to the "18 ProTour teams," guaranteed entry——to the event as it is: promoted by, "the UCI," two wildcard entries were accepted: CervĂ©lo TestTeam and BMC Racing Team, both of which have strong Swiss links. Andreas Klöden did not defend the title he won the previous year. But the two previous winners of the event, Thomas Dekker and Cadel Evans took part, as teammates on the Silence–Lotto team. Other pre-race favourites included four of the top five in 2008 (Roman Kreuziger (Liquigas), Marco Pinotti (Team Columbia–High Road), Dennis Menchov (Rabobank) and Mikel Astarloza (Euskaltel–Euskadi)) and 2008 ProTour champion Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne).

Roman Kreuziger won the 4th stage. And in doing so put himself into a lead that he retained on the last day, "thus going one better than his second place overall in 2008."
