Laura Winter

Laura Winter (born March 31, 1989) is a sports presenter, event host and commentator, specialising in Formula 1, rugby and cycling, amongst a variety of other sports. As well as presenting British Cycling’s road and cyclocross coverage on Eurosport, BBC and ITV4, she is Voxwomen's dedicated presenter for the monthly Voxwomen Cycling Show which is broadcast on multiple channels worldwide. She is also the NBC reporter and commentator for the Tour of California women's race.

Education
She attended Loughborough University, where she obtained her Bachelor's degree in English in 2010. She graduated from Pate's Grammar School in 2007.

Career
A former rower, Winter has been the Henley Royal Regatta's reporter for BT Sport since 2017.

In 2019, Winter presented four rounds of the World Rallycross Championship, before making her debut in Formula One at the 2019 Belgian GP. She currently presents Formula One's pre-race and post-race show on F1 TV with co-host Will Buxton and correspondent Lawrence Baretto. She is an advocate for women in motorsport. In response to allegations of inappropriate workplace behaviour from Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner towards a female colleague (who was then suspended from the team), Winter said, “To the women and girls in motorsport, to the huge and growing numbers of female fans in this sport, here is a very good reminder for all of us. We are here to stay and we are right where we belong.”

Winter hosts her own podcast titled 'Lessons Learned', where she interviews notable figures in the sports industry.

She is set to host the Tour de France Femmes for Eurosport in August 2024.

Personal life
She was raised in Cheltenham, England. Winter was a competitive swimmer for twelve years.

On International Women's Day in 2019, Winter was violently attacked by her then boyfriend, ending up in hospital. As a result of the domestic violence, she experienced PTSD. She hopes speaking about her own struggle with trauma can help others talk about the repercussions of violence and abuse, and encourage them to come forward and seek help safely.
