The '''2009 Grote Scheldeprijs''' [[cycling race]] took place on [[15 April 15]], [[2009]]. It was the 97th running of the [[Grote Scheldeprijs]]. A breakaway of [[Lorenzo Bernucci]], [[Matthé Pronk]], [[Pavel Brutt]] and [[Jeff Louder]] formed after 80 km, and stayed free of the peloton until 9 km to go. Bernucci, of {{ct|LPR|2009}}, attacked again when the lead group was caught and was joined once more by Brutt, of {{ct|KAT|2009}}. The two were caught again by the Quickstep-led peloton at 4 km to go. A bunch sprint ensued, won by [[Alessandro Petacchi]]. [[Robbie McEwen]] and [[Greg Van Avermaet]] crashed 200 m from the finish when their wheels touched.
