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 National Trophy series reaches its completion on Sunday with the fourth race at Northallerton, North Yorkshire and a thrilling finish is in the making. Roger Hammond, the National Champion who leads the senior series, is racing in Switzerland. Had he competed at Northallerton, overall victory would have been a formality, barring accidents, but now three riders have good chances of taking the title. A win for Steve Douce, lying second, or Peter Stevenson, the Belgian-based rider in eighth, would give either the title. Douce could still win if he finishes second or third with no close rival in sight. Barrie Clarke, the Raleigh rider, needs to win, with Douce finishing no higher than third, in order to take the trophy.
How to get there: Race headquarters are at the Northallerton Leisure Centre. From the south turn off A1 at A168/A19 exit, signposted Teesside, and take A168 to Northallerton. Timetable: 11am juveniles; noon juniors, veterans, women; 2pm senior men.
