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.John Tanner took the lead in the BCF Premier Calendar series when he won the 102-mile Lincoln Grand Prix yesterday, crossing the line 29 seconds clear of the former race winner Chris Walker. Jon Clay, who earlier had won the national 10-mile time trial championship at Barton-on-Humber, was in a race-long break of eight riders at Lincoln and eventually finished in fourth place.
The world road race champion, Johan Museeuw, won the Dunkirk Four Days race for the second time yesterday. The victory, in a race the Belgian first won in 1995, was consolation for Museeuw after a lacklustre campaign in the spring classics. He fell in Milan-San Remo and in the Tour of Flanders before managing second place in the Paris-Roubaix.
Pavel Tonkov held off Chris Boardman to win the Tour of Romandie yesterday. The Briton claimed the fifth and final stage, a 21.7 km time trial, in 24min 10sec but could not overcome the lead the Russian had built up in the mountains on Saturday. Tonkov was eighth yesterday, 54 seconds behind Boardman, but it was enough to give him a 45-second win over the Briton and his fourth Tour win.
