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.Denmark-based team Tinkoff-Saxo says it has signed Slovak sprinter Peter Sagan, holder of the Tour de France's green jersey, for a three-year period.
Team manager Bjarne Riis said Friday that Sagan "has the ability to bring home victories," adding the 24-year-old Slovak will leave Cannondale and join the Russian-owned team next year.
Sagan proved the Tour's best sprinter for the third straight year. He did not win a single stage, despite four runner-up finishes, but his consistency gave him a lead of more than 140 points in the best sprinter contest.
Team Tinkoff-Saxo includes two-time Tour winner Alberto Contador of Spain who crashed out with injuries this year before the halfway mark.
