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.Miguel Indurain won the Dauphine Libere race for the second consecutive year yesterday in preparation for the Tour de France, which the Spaniard will attempt to win for a record sixth time. Indurain finished sixth in the 174km final stage, but his stage wins in Friday's time trial and Saturday's mountain stage allowed him to hold a lead of 1min 21sec over Tony Rominger, of Switzerland in the overall standings. Britain's Chris Boardman, who managed to stay with the best in the mountains and won the race's prologue, finished fifth overall.
Chris Walker, the former Milk Race winner, capped his comeback after a short-lived retirement from competition when he won yesterday's Five Valleys road race, round 10 of the Premier Calendar series, over a 93.6- mile course in South Wales.
