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.

Joaquin Rodriguez of Spain broke away in the final kilometre to win the penultimate stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico race yesterday. The 40-year-old American Chris Horner held on to his overall lead.

Rodriguez timed 4 hours 38.27mins over the 181km (112.5 mile) stage, starting and ending in Offida. The 2010 Vuelta champion, Vincenzo Nibali of Italy, was second and 2007 Giro d'Italia winner Danilo Di Luca third, both with the same time as Rodriguez. The world champion, Mark Cavendish, withdrew midway through the stage.
