No live Vuelta on ITV4 or Eurosport today

Possibly the decisive stage of the 2011 Vuelta, British riders lie 1st and 2nd on GC, and it won't be shown live on either ITV4 or British Eurosport.

Since you ask, this afternoon ITV4 has seven hours' worth of British Touring Car Championships, while Eurosport has US Open tennis on one channel and Moto GP on the other.

I'm assuming there won't be any online coverage from Eurosport, but Ned Boulting has tweeted to say that the ITV4 player WILL be showing a live stream, without adverts,starts at 1445, link here: http://www.itv.com/lavuelta/2011/live/.

He added that the channel has a longstanding contract with Touring Cars, which adjusts its calendar so it doesn't conflict with ITV4's TDF coverage.

Frustrating, but hopefully you can get near a computer.

For those living in a bygone age (or Poland) you can get Eurosport international on Astra 1L 11.259 GHz V (analogue, German and English)

No coverage at all of Tour of Britain either that I can see 2

Maybe a Fantasy 2012 Olympic Games as it doesn't look up to much so far 102

Fortunately I'm at work from 2pm so would miss it anyway.

Got the computer at work but i dont think my boss would be happy me sitting watching the cycling.

Will have to make do with the highlights and occasional checks on the coverage supplied by Team Sky's website.
