We study the rational homotopy of the moduli space ${\mathcal N}_X$ of stable vector bundles of rank two and fixed determinant of odd degree over a compact connected Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g\geq 2$. The symplectic group $Aut(H_1(X,{\mathbb Z}))=Sp(2g,{\mathbb Z})$ has a natural action on the rational homotopy groups $\pi_n({\mathcal N}_X) \otimes {\mathbb Q}$. We prove that this action extends to an action of $Sp(2g,{\mathbb C})$ on $\pi_n({\mathcal N}_X) \otimes {\mathbb C}$. We also show that $\pi_n({\mathcal N}_X) \otimes {\mathbb C}$ is a non-trivial $Sp(2g,{\mathbb C})$-representation for each $n\geq 2g-1$. In particular, ${\mathcal N}_X$ is a rationally hyperbolic space. In the special case where $g=2$, we compute the leading $Sp(2g,{\mathbb C})$-representation occurring in $\pi_n({\mathcal N}_X) \otimes {\mathbb C}$, for each $n$.
