Nikki Brammeier and husband Matt Brammeier are attempting to increase participation in cyclo-cross across the UK with their newly announced MUDIIITA cyclo-cross project. The program, which is comprised of a professional cyclo-cross team called MUDIIITA-Canyon, a cyclo-cross academy and cyclo-cross clinics and coaching, will launch on January 1.
Nikki Brammeier, who currently races with Boels-Dolmans, will compete for the corresponding MUDIIITA-Canyon professional cyclo-cross team.
Through the project, they are hoping to create an achievable pathway to nurture young riders through to the highest ranks of the sport, according to a press release.

"Our aim is to inspire a generation and create a realistic pathway through to the top tier of the sport," said Matt Brammeier, who races on the road for Professional Continental Team Aqua Blue Sport.
"We wanted to bundle all the different steps of a young rider's journey through the ranks together, and create a safe and professional environment where riders can focus fully on development and enjoyment of the sport. With the support of our partners Canyon, SRAM, Brother and more, we are confident that this is the perfect pathway for cyclists of the future to reach their full potential."
Nikki Brammeier currently races in both road and cyclo-cross with the dominant Dutch women's team Boels-Dolmans. Although she had a contract to compete with the team in 2018 on the road, she turned down the spot in order to focus on cyclo-cross full time.
