ITV4 will broadcast live coverage and highlights throughout the 2011 Vuelta a Espana as part of a new agreement with the ASO and Unipublic.

Beginning this Saturday, August 20th, the last Grand Tour of the season La Vuelta is made up of 21 stages. 

ITV4 will broadcast around two hours of live coverage from each race day* as well as 30 minute highlights programmes each evening wiith our friends at ITV Sport Ned Boulting presenting the coverage alongside Matt Rendell.

ITV's website ITV.com will also simulcast live coverage and highlights programmes as well as offering shorter highlights clips.

ITV4 coverage begins on Saturday 20th August from 4.00pm to 6.00pm.

* La Vuelta coverage will be exclusively live on ITV.com on Sunday 4 September with extended highlights shown on ITV4 in the evening. This is due to a pre-existing commitment to British Touring Cars Championship coverage.
