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.Australia's Matt Goss won the third stage of the Paris-Nice race yesterday to claim the leader's jersey after a dramatic sprint finish. The HTC-Highroad rider outmuscled Heinrich Haussler (Garmin-Cervelo) and Denis Galimzyanov (Katusha) to take the overall lead from Thomas de Gendt by two seconds.
The chaotic sprint into the finish at Nuits-Saint-Georges saw Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Cannondale) crash at the final turn.
Team Sky's Geraint Thomas and Greg Henderson were fifth and sixth respectively with Henderson, who won Monday's second stage, now fourth in the overall classification, six seconds behind Goss.
Their Sky team-mate Bradley Wiggins finished safely among the peloton and is 77th overall, 16 seconds off the lead.
