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.

TROY CORSER yesterday seized the lead in the World Superbike Championship after a dramatic day in the fourth round at the Albacete circuit in Spain.

The Australian took second and third places in the two 20-lap races and, although he has yet to win a race so far, he enjoys a seven-point lead over the second-placed Carl Fogarty.

The Italian Pier-Francesco Chili won his first race of the championship in a wet opener. Fogarty stormed away with the second in drier conditions, winning by six seconds from Aaron Slight of New Zealand.
