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.France’s Alexandre Geniez arrived in his homeland to a winner’s reception after clinching victory on stage 15 of the Vuelta a España, while Vincenzo Nibali maintained his overall lead.
Towards the end of a 225 km route that began in Andorra before ending at the French ski resort of Peyragudes, FDJ rider Geniez (above) broke away before the final category-one climb to cross the finish line in six hours, 20 minutes and 12 seconds. Lampre-Merida’s Michele Scarponi and Nicolas Roche (Team Saxo-Tinkoff) were second and third while classification leader Nibali responded to attacks from his rivals to take fourth and keep hold of the red jersey with a 50-second lead.
