In addition to the 18 ProTour teams, guaranteed entry to the event as it is promoted by the UCI, two wildcard entries were accepted: Cervélo 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.
