Menchov and Evans performed far below the levels expected of them, finishing 51st and 30th respectively, and Sastre only showed briefly among the leaders on the mountain stages that would have provided his best chance of making a bid for victory, coming 17th overall. Alejandro Valverde, the team leader of GCE 2009, was not selected by his team for the Tour de France, because the race travelled through Italy on stage 16 and he had received a ban in May 2009 from the Italian Olympic Committee, prohibiting him from competing in Italy. He had finished in the top ten of the general classification of the Tour in the two previous years and was considered one of the favourites for overall victory. News about a positive retest of a 2007 out-of-competition control concerning Thomas Dekker broke three days before the start; his team SIL 2009 immediately withdrew him from the starting list.

The significant action of the first week in relation to the overall classification was restricted to a split in the field on stage 3, and a team time trial the following day. The second weekend saw the Tour in the Pyrenees, and the first attack on the field by eventual winner Alberto Contador, while the leadership was taken over by Rinaldo Nocentini. Thor Hushovd showed an ability to take points in stages that did not include flat sprint finishes that would be key to the contest for the points classification, and the main contenders for the mountains classification emerged. The journey towards the Alps the following week had a second pair of successive stage wins for Cavendish and a series of wins from riders in breakaways that held no threat to the general classification. An infringement in the sprint finish to stage 14 saw Cavendish relegated in finishing position, and Hushovd gaining the upper hand in the points classification. The first alpine stage was the occasion of Contador's assumption of the race leadership, and the emergence of Andy Schleck as the only rider likely to challenge him in the mountains, and as the top young rider, giving Schleck the right to wear the white jersey. Franco Pellizotti focussed on collecting points on the climbs early in stages to overhaul Egoi Martínez in the race for the mountains classification, without threatening the race leaders. By the end of the three stages in the Alps, and after Contador's victory in the final time trial, it was only the minor placings that were realistically under question in the last mountain stage, held for the first time on the penultimate day of the tour on Mont Ventoux. The UCI introduced a ban on radio communication between team management and riders on stage 10, but the riders responded with a conservative style of racing for most of the stage and the intended repetition of the experiment on stage 13 was abandoned. https://sports.yahoo.com/sc/news?slug=reu-tourearpieces_brief Cycling-UCI lift earpieces ban for Tour 13th stage 18 June 2009 yahoo.com 30 June 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20101205080840/http://sports.yahoo.com/sc/news?slug=reu-tourearpieces_brief 5 December 2010 live dmy-all Mark Cavendish claimed his sixth Champs-Élysées stage win on the final day of the Tour.Tan Anthony Cavendish celebrates with number six on the Champs-Élysées http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-france-2009/stage-21/results/ 17 February 2019 Cyclingnews.com Immediate Media Company 26 July 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20180216230800/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-france-2009/stage-21/results/ 16 February 2018 live At the victory ceremony, the national anthem of Denmark was mistakenly played instead of that of Spain.Danish anthem played for Spanish winner Contador https://www.reuters.com/article/us-cycling-tour-anthem-sb-idUSTRE56P28B20090726 20 May 2014 Reuters 26 July 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20140521031718/http://www.reuters.com/article/2009/07/26/us-cycling-tour-anthem-sb-idUSTRE56P28B20090726 21 May 2014 live At the victory ceremony for teams, the anthem of Spain was yet played, because Contador was part of the winning team, Astana.

He was sidelined by his team, and did not race again in 2010. The case was not fully resolved until March 2011, at which time the Court of Arbitration for Sport ordered Pellizotti banned for two years, to pay a fine and court costs, and have all his 2009 results vacated. In October 2012, Lance Armstrong had all his results post 1998, including the 2009 Tour, voided by the UCI following the USADA investigation into systematic doping.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/20008520 Lance Armstrong: Governing body strips American of Tour wins 22 October 2012 BBC News 22 October 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20121021235858/http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/20008520 21 October 2012 live On 10 July 2014, a UCI press release detailing various athlete sanctions specified that Menchov had been banned (for a period of two years) until 9 April 2015 due to adverse biological passport findings.

The most important was the general classification, which was calculated by adding each rider's finishing times on each stage.Race regulations 2009 44 There were no time bonuses given at the end of stages for this edition of the Tour.Race regulations 2009 45–46 If a crash had happened within the final 3 km 1 on of a stage, not including time trials and summit finishes, the riders involved would have received the same time as the group they were in when the crash occurred.Race regulations 2009 39 The rider with the lowest cumulative time was the winner of the general classification and was considered the overall winner of the Tour.Race regulations 2009 44 The rider leading the classification wore a yellow jersey.Race regulations 2009 35–36 The second classification was the points classification. Riders received points for finishing in the highest positions in a stage finish, or in intermediate sprints during the stage. The points available for each stage finish were determined by the stage's type.Race regulations 2009 44 The leader was identified by a green jersey.Race regulations 2009 35–36 The third classification was the mountains classification. Most stages of the race included one or more categorised climbs, in which points were awarded to the riders that reached the summit first. The climbs were categorised as fourth-, third-, second- or first-category and hors catégorie, with the more difficult climbs rated lower.Race regulations 2009 44–45 The leader wore a white jersey with red polka dots.Race regulations 2009 35–36 The final individual classification was the young rider classification. This was calculated the same way as the general classification, but the classification was restricted to riders who were born on or after 1 January 1984.Race regulations 2009 45 The leader wore a white jersey.Race regulations 2009 35–36 The final classification was a team classification. This was calculated using the finishing times of the best three riders per team on each stage; the leading team was the team with the lowest cumulative time. The number of stage victories and placings per team determined the outcome of a tie.Race regulations 2009 45 The riders in the team that lead this classification were identified with yellow number bibs on the back of their jerseys.Race regulations 2009 35–36 In addition, there was a combativity award given after each mass start stage to the rider considered, by a jury, to have "made the greatest effort and who has demonstrated the best qualities of sportsmanship".Race regulations 2009 45 The winner wore a red number bib the following stage.Race regulations 2009 35–36 At the conclusion of the Tour, Franco Pellizotti was given the overall super-combativity award.Augendre 2016 100pellizotti-note There were also two special awards each with a prize of €5000, the Souvenir Henri Desgrange, given in honour of Tour founder and first race director Henri Desgrange to the first rider to pass the summit of the Col du Grand-Saint-Bernard on stage 16, and the Souvenir Jacques Goddet, given in honour of the second director Jacques Goddet to the first rider to pass the summit of the Col du Tourmalet on stage 9.Race regulations 2009 28 Franco Pellizotti won both the Henri Desgrange and the Jacques Goddet.Tan Anthony Astarloza top dog in Bourg-Saint-Maurice http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-france-2009/stage-16/results/ 2 March 2019 Cyclingnews.com 21 July 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20180216231408/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-france-2009/stage-16/results/ 16 February 2018 liveTan Anthony Clarke Les Fedrigo claims another stage for France http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-france-2009/stage-9/results/ 4 March 2019 Cyclingnews.com Immediate Media Company 12 July 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20180216233421/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-france-2009/stage-9/results/ 2018-02-16 live +Classification leadership by stageTour de France 2009 – Leaders overview https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-de-france/2009/gc/stages/leaders-overview ProCyclingStats 16 February 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20190216221815/https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-de-france/2009/gc/stages/leaders-overview 16 February 2019 livevan den Akker Pieter Informatie over de Tour de France van 2009 Information about the Tour de France from 2009 http://www.tourdefrancestatistieken.nl/tour.php?jaar=2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20190302052745/http://www.tourdefrancestatistieken.nl/tour.php?jaar=2009 2 March 2019 nl TourDeFranceStatistieken.nl 2 March 2019 live Stage Winner General classification25px|link=General classification in the Tour de France|alt=Yellow jersey Points classification25px|link=Points classification in the Tour de France|alt=Green jersey Mountains classification25px|link=Mountains classification in the Tour de France|alt=Polkadot jersey Young rider classification25px|link=Young rider classification in the Tour de France|alt=White jersey Team classification25px|link=Team classification in the Tour de France|alt=Jersey with yellow number Combativity award25px|link=Combativity award in the Tour de France|alt=Jersey with red number 1 Fabian Cancellara Fabian Cancellara Fabian Cancellara Alberto Contador Roman Kreuziger AST 2009 no award 2 Mark Cavendish Mark Cavendish Jussi Veikkanen Stef Clement 3 Mark Cavendish Tony Martin Samuel Dumoulin 4AST 2009 no award 5 Thomas Voeckler Mikhail Ignatiev 6 Thor Hushovd Stéphane Augé David Millar 7 Brice Feillu Rinaldo Nocentini Brice Feillu Christophe Riblon 8 Luis León Sánchez Thor Hushovd Christophe Kern ALM 2009 Sandy Casar 9 Pierrick Fédrigo Egoi Martínez Franco Pellizottipellizotti-note 10 Mark Cavendish Thierry Hupond 11 Mark Cavendish Mark Cavendish Johan Van Summeren 12 Nicki Sørensen SAX 2009 Nicki Sørensen 13 Heinrich Haussler Thor Hushovd Franco Pellizottipellizotti-note Heinrich Haussler 14 Sergei Ivanov ALM 2009 Martijn Maaskant 15 Alberto Contador Alberto Contador Andy Schleck AST 2009 Simon Špilak 16 Sandy Casar* Franco Pellizottipellizotti-note 17 Fränk Schleck Thor Hushovd 18 Alberto Contador no award 19 Mark Cavendish Leonardo Duque 20 Juan Manuel Gárate Tony Martin 21Mark Cavendish Fumiyuki Beppu FinalAlberto ContadorThor Hushovdwhite Egoi Martínez yesAndy SchleckAST 2009white Franco Pellizotti yespellizotti-note After stage 1, Fabian Cancellara was leading both the general and the points classifications.
