Matthew Martin Brammeier (born 7 June 1985) is a former professional cyclist, who competed professionally between 2006 and 2018 for nine different professional teams. Upon retiring, Brammeier became a coach for British Cycling.[1] He won five titles at the Irish National Cycling Championships, winning the road race four times and the time trial once.

Career

Born in Liverpool, Brammeier was selected to ride the 2003 UCI Track Cycling World Championships and represented Wales at the 2006 Commonwealth Games. Brammeier rode for DFL-Cyclingnews-Litespeed in 2006 and signed for Profel Ziegler Continental Team for the 2007 season.

Brammeier was involved in an accident in November 2007, when he was struck by a cement mixing lorry whilst training. He broke both his legs but returned to cycling retaining his contract with Profel in Belgium.[2]

He declared Irish nationality in advance of the 2009–10 track season and made a successful debut when finishing 4th in the scratch race at the Manchester World Cup meeting in October '09. He became road race champion at the Irish National Cycling Championships in June 2010 by beating breakaway partner and defending champion Nicolas Roche.

In 2011, he defended his Irish Elite Road Race title, and also won the National Elite Time Trial title. He joined Template:Cycling data OPQ for the 2012 season,[3] before joining Template:Cycling data Champion System for 2013.

After the collapse of Champion System, Brammeier signed a contract with the Template:Cycling data BCP team, the Azerbaijan-backed Continental team.[4]

On 9 August 2015, he collided with a team car during Stage 6 of the Tour of Utah. He was immediately taken to hospital following the incident and was diagnosed with injuries to his pelvis, ribs and lung.[5][6]

In June 2018 Brammeier announced his retirement from competition and his appointment to the position of lead academy coach to British Cycling's men's endurance programme from August of that year, with additional responsibility for the men's elite road team in international competition, taking over the latter from Rod Ellingworth.[7]
