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.Alex Zuelle tightened his grip on the Tour of Spain yesterday when he emerged from the mist to take the mountain finish on the 15th stage. In another masterful display, Zuelle launched a late attack to catch Spain's Jose Maria Jimenez near the line and was followed home by fellow Swiss riders Laurent Dufaux and Tony Rominger and French team-mate Laurent Jalabert.
Zuelle leads Jalabert in the overall standings by 1min 21sec with Dufaux just over four minutes further back, while Rominger, although out of contention since losing nearly eight minutes in the third stage, reinforced his attempt to take the king of the mountains prize.
