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.

Carl Fogarty, the four-times World Superbike champion, has signed former title holder Troy Corser to the rider line-up of his Foggy Petronas Racing team.

The Australian, who raced alongside Fogarty for Ducati, joins the British rider James Haydon on the new team which will enter the championship in the ninth round at Laguna Seca, California, in July.

The 30-year-old Corser, who won the World Superbike title in 1996, has signed a three-year deal, joining Haydon in developing the new Foggy FP1 bike.

Fogarty said: "When we set up this team, I didn't think for a minute we could have attracted as big a name as Troy Corser for our first season. Everyone knows how talented a rider he is, but Troy is also one of the best riders for setting up a bike."
