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.Mark Cavendish says "coming home" to Team Sky is the perfect end to the most prolific year of his life. The Manxman won last year's Tour de France green jersey and world road race title and was recently recruited by Team Sky from HTC-Highroad.
Cavendish was unveiled as the head of the team's 10-strong British contingent, where he links up with the likes of Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas.
"It's the first time as a successful rider that I have moved team so I cannot compare the feeling to anything else," Cavendish said yesterday. "I can't imagine it would be anywhere near as easy to be in a team anywhere else. I really feel at home. It is like coming home."
