Well, actually, there is a television station in the USA that covers the Vuelta. It's one of those spanish speaking stations, but you have to have Telemundo in the expanded cable package in order to view it. They added that station in Chicago, but the month after the Vuelta ended last year. 
Otherwise, you'll have to go to Europe and get their Eurosport.

Thanks, all. I will have to email or call Telemundo since they don't have anything posted on their website.

Has anyone seen the schedule for the Vuelta on Telemundo? We get the channel, but can not find any time blocks that seem like they would be the race, nor can I find anything in the Programming guide with the word Vuelta...
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!

Is anyone going to stream Vuelta coverage on the net? OLN had streaming Giro coverage for $5.95, and there one or two Italian media sites that also streamed it.

According to Cycle Disciples (https://www.cycledisciple.com/index.htm) TVE's website (https://www.rtve.es/) will be offering streaming video of the Vuelta:
"...You can view the race live on a spanish television network's website. TVE's coverage is great but in Spanish. When you get to the home page click on "TVE en Directo," pick your viewer (Real or Windows Media Player) and you'll be off to the race"

Here's Telemundo's program listing for the 27th, the day the Vuelta starts. I see a couple of football games, but no Vuelta. Am I missing something?
