Brammeier aims for Tour de Langkawi mountain's jersey

Matthew Brammeier (Synergy Baku) is looking to kick start his season with victory in the mountain’s classification at the Tour de Langkawi.

Born in Ireland to a cycling family and later moved to the Isle of Man, so there was no surprise when I got into the sport. Studied sports journalism at university before going on to do a Masters in sports broadcast. After university I spent three months interning at Eurosport, where I covered the Tour de France. In 2012 I started at Procycling Magazine, before becoming the deputy editor of Procycling Week. I then joined Cyclingnews, in December 2013.
