Caffari and Thompson build on good start
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.

But Dee Caffari and Brian Thompson (Aviva) were continuing to build on a good start, lying fourth, five miles behind the leaders and defending champion Michel Desjoyeaux, paired with Jeremie Beyou (Foncia).
In Nice, Britain's Origin team was again shorebound by unstable winds in the Louis Vuitton Trophy series. Emirates Team New Zealand, which has an automatic place in the final anyway, is leading, unbeaten with three wins.
