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.

Alexandre Vinokourov sprinted to his second victory of the Isle of Man week in yesterday's Curwen Clague Memorial group handicap race.

A scratch group of international riders wiped out a seven-minute deficit with two of 11 laps left over 48 miles on the Billown circuit near Castletown. The final sprint was fought out between a group of 10 riders, with the Kazakh just beating Australia's Tony Morphett to the line.

The highest-placed British finisher was Peter Chapman. The veteran came home in sixth place after tagging on to the scratch riders as they swept past the leaders.
