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.Marc Marquez extended his MotoGP points lead by winning the Aragon Grand Prix but his win came only after he played a part in the crash of Honda team-mate Dani Pedrosa. Marquez grazed the back of Pedrosa’s bike, causing Pedrosa to lose control and slide down the track.
“I touched him a little with the front of my bike, and they tell me I may have broken a cable and that’s why he fell,” said Marquez. “It was very unlucky. That doesn’t usually happen.”
A furious Pedrosa had to be carried off the track by the medical crew. He later said that he was fine except for some pain in his pelvis. “Marc always rides to the limit when he has riders in front,” said Pedrosa.
