TEAM PRESS RELEASE
Team MTN-Qhubeka intends to further strengthen its line-up with the addition of former multiple Irish road champion Matthew Brammeier. After having ridden at the World Tour level with teams like Omega-Pharma Quickstep and HTC Highroad in previous years, he would add experience to the South African Pro-Continental team for the 2015 season.
The team is currently awaiting the UCI’s confirmation to be able to finalize the signing.
Matt from Liverpool one of two Merseyside riders in the team along with Steve Cummings (Wirral).
Matt is a well-rounded rider who will prove to be an invaluable domestique for our team, particularly during our classics campaign. The Irishman’s attacking style of riding has resulted in podium finishes at races like the Tours of Qatar and Austria to go along with his 4 national road titles. Matt is also a well-liked and followed athlete in Ireland and so it is great that awareness of Qhubeka can now be brought to a new part of the world, further globalising the foundation.
Matt Brammeier is expected to make his debut in the stripes on the 1st of February at the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race.
Matt Brammeier will join fellow North West rider Steve Cummings in the team’s colours. “To be part of such a talented group of guys, past – present & more importantly, future champions cannot be more motivating to me. There were a few moments over the last few seasons when I thought to myself “wow, who is that MTN guy? He has some scary talentâ€.
“I really can’t wait to get into the racing season with the team and I hope to be part of many wins this season. I really think my capabilities and best attributes are perfectly suited to supporting the top, and up and coming talents on this team.â€
Brian Smith, General Manager of the team, said of the teams intended signing “Matt Brammeier has been an asset to all the teams he has ridden for. Although without a contract he has continued to train throughout the off season like a professional and I respect his commitment. I did feel we needed an experienced worker within the team and he is a rider that can shine in that department. With the addition of Matt we are still looking to add another African rider to our roster.â€
