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.Steve Douce, the Reigate professional, who won the first National Trophy race last month, is no stranger to Aldersley Stadium, Wolverhampton, Sunday's setting for the second in the four-race series. Last January Douce narrowly won the National Championship there from David Baker, the mountain bike professional. Douce starts as favourite in the seniors' category on a course that combines tricky descents, a stream crossing and a grandstand finish on the cycle track. Baker lies ninth in the seniors' category. Behind Douce, however, is the amateur, Roger Hammond, the former world junior champion who beat Douce at Sutton Park two weeks ago in the BC-CA International.
How to get there: Aldersley Stadium is 1 1/2 miles north-west of Wolverhampton town centre and is signposted from A449 Wolverhampton to Stafford road, via Oxley Moor Road, and from A41 through Tettenhall. Race programme: Juveniles 11am; juniors noon, followed by veterans and women; under-12s 1pm; Senior National Trophy 2pm.
