A flanged bearing ring comprising a flange part joined to a ring part. The flange part is at least partly made of a fiber-reinforced matrix material, which is overmolded to the ring part. The flange part further comprises a first connection interface for enabling a component such as a vehicle wheel to be screwed or bolted to the flange part. The first connection interface comprises a plurality of bolt inserts which are embedded in the fiber-reinforced matrix material. At least one bolt insert is joined to the ring part by a continuous fiber tow that is wound around part of an outer surface of the bolt insert and of the ring part. Suitably, each bolt insert is joined to the ring part in this manner.
