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.Kevin Schwantz, the Texan looking for his first world championship, has an excellent track record at Donington. The leader of this year's championship won the British 500cc Grand Prix in 1989, 1990 and 1991. The run was broken last year when he skidded on an oil patch, but he starts as favourite for the race on Sunday and a win would provide a cushion over Wayne Rainey, the champion who is second overall. Practice and qualifying are held today and tomorrow from 9am. On Sunday, the untimed warm-up is from 9.30am, with the first of five races at noon.
