Cyclist Luis Angel Mate, who has already planted 100 trees, tells us why he will plant a tree for every kilometre he's in a breakaway group in this years Vuelta a Espa帽a. The pledge will be matched by race organisers and his team Euskaltel - Euskadi.

Mate has seen first hand the damage that wild fires can do after his home town was badly affected last year. It will be particularly poignant when he rides through the town on the 12th stage of this years race.

He's been telling Sportshour's Caroline Barker about his passion for the environment and how he believes "bikes will save the world".
