Career


Born in Liverpool, Brammeier was selected to ride the Track World Championships in 2003 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.[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 Irish National Road Race Champion 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 Omega Pharma–Quick-Step for the 2012 season,[1] before joining Champion System for 2013.


After the collapse of Champion System, Brammeier signed a contract with the Synergy Baku Cycling Project, the Azerbaijan-backed Continental team.[2]


On 9 August 2015, he collided with a team car during Stage 6 of the 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]
