**Matthew Martin Brammeier** (born 7 June 1985) is a former professional [cyclist](/source/Cycle_sport), who competed professionally between 2006 and 2018 for nine different professional teams. Upon retiring, Brammeier became a coach for [British Cycling](/source/British_Cycling).[5] He won five titles at the [Irish National Cycling Championships](/source/Irish_National_Cycling_Championships), winning the road race four times and the time trial once.

## Career

Born in [Liverpool](/source/Liverpool), Brammeier was selected to ride the [2003 UCI Track Cycling World Championships](/source/2003_UCI_Track_Cycling_World_Championships) and represented [Wales](/source/Wales) at the [2006 Commonwealth Games](/source/2006_Commonwealth_Games). Brammeier rode for [DFL-Cyclingnews-Litespeed](/source/DFL-Cyclingnews-Litespeed) in 2006 and signed for [Profel Ziegler Continental Team](/source/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.[6]

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](/source/Irish_National_Cycling_Championships) in June 2010 by beating breakaway partner and defending champion [Nicolas Roche](/source/Nicolas_Roche).

In 2011, he defended his Irish Elite Road Race title, and also won the National Elite Time Trial title. He joined [Omega Pharma–Quick-Step](/source/Soudal_Quick-Step) for the 2012 season,[1] before joining [Champion System](/source/Champion_System) for 2013.

After the collapse of Champion System, Brammeier signed a contract with the [Synergy Baku](/source/Synergy_Baku_Cycling_Project) team, the Azerbaijan-backed Continental team.[2]

On 9 August 2015, he collided with a team car during Stage 6 of the [Tour of Utah](/source/2015_Tour_of_Utah). He was immediately taken to hospital following the incident and was diagnosed with injuries to his pelvis, ribs and lung.[7][8]

In June 2018 Brammeier announced his retirement from competition and his appointment to the position of lead academy coach to [British Cycling](/source/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](/source/Rod_Ellingworth).[9]
