2009 in men's road cycling

Bjorn Leukemans was without a team for over a year due to doping-related allegations, which were proven to be ungrounded.

The teams Gerolsteiner and Saunier Duval–Scott, both who were connected to some major doping cases in 2008, saw their title sponsors drop out.

The Spanish squad found a new sponsor in Fuji Bikes and was granted another ProTour license as Fuji–Servetto.

One notable new Pro Continental team, started from scratch, is the Cervélo TestTeam, which managed to sign 2008 Tour de France-winner Carlos Sastre and Norwegian sprinter Thor Hushovd.

Like another new Pro Continental team, Vacansoleil from the Netherlands, Katusha and Cervélo immediately proved successful in the early months of the season.
