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.

The Wincanton Classic is the British leg of the 13-race professional World Cup series. Sean Kelly, of Ireland, who is lying joint sixth overall in the World Cup after last weekend's race in San Sebastian, attempts to improve his position, though the overall leader, Olaf Ludwig, from Germany, is also taking part. Stephen Roche, also of Ireland, who crashed in that race, and the American, Greg Lemond, who withdrew from the Kellogg's Tour of Britain on Tuesday through illness, should both be fit to start. The race starts (9am) and finishes (3.30pm) in Leeds City Centre after 156-mile circuit of surrounding countryside.
