Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Andy Wilkinson sealed his victory in the British best all-rounder time trial competition when he clocked 1hr 37min 26sec in yesterday's Mid Oxon CRT 50-mile event to shatter Graeme Obree's three-year-old British record by 1min 35sec.

Chris Boardman teamed up with Germany's Uwe Peschel to win the Telekom Grand Prix time-trial by more than two minutes in Karlsruhe yesterday. They covered the 49-mile course in one hour, 36min, 35sec, beating the Germans Olaf Ludwig and Rolf Aldag over seven laps. Third place went to the Tour de France winner, Bjarne Riis of Denmark, and Jan Ullrich, of Germany, who was second in the Tour. They were a second slower than Ludwig and Aldag, who recorded 1:38.40.
