Help Me Compete on the World Stage

Hello, everyone!

My name is Matheus Braian Neitzke. I’m a two-time Brazilian champion and Pan American champion in Mountain Bike Downhill, and I’m about to face the biggest challenge of my career — and live out a childhood dream: representing Brazil in the Mountain Bike World Cup stages in Europe.

More than just a childhood dream, this is a mission I carry with pride — to show the world the talent Brazil has on the most technical and competitive trails on the planet. After more than a decade dedicated to this sport, it’s time to take the next step and ride with heart and determination for my country.

The Journey Has Already Begun

The 2025 season is off to a solid start:

6th place – Pan American Championships

27th place – 1st stage of the IXS European Cup

20th place – 2nd stage of the IXS European Cup

On June 2nd, I’ll head to Europe, where I’ll spend over a month competing on the continent’s top tracks. Traveling in a rented campervan, which will be both my home and mobile base, I’ll represent Brazil in official UCI World Cup and IXS European Cup events, racing against the biggest names in the sport.

Schedule:

Leogang, Austria – UCI World Cup | June 6–8

Semmering, Austria – IXS European Cup | June 13–15

Val di Sole, Italy – UCI World Cup | June 20–22

Aprica, Italy – IXS European Cup | June 27–29

La Thuile, Italy – UCI World Cup | July 4–6

Andorra – UCI World Cup | July 11–13

Sapiranga/RS, Brazil – Brazilian Championship | July 25–27

This campaign isn’t just about me. I’m carrying the name of everyone who believes in Brazilian sports and in my potential as an athlete. That’s why this fundraiser is an invitation for you to be part of this journey.

How Can You Help?

I’m raising €9000 to cover travel costs, including van rental, race entries, flights, fuel, and accommodation. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a huge difference. And if you can’t donate, sharing already means you're riding alongside me!

Businesses and Brands: Let’s Ride Together!

If you represent a brand and believe in the power of sport as a tool for transformation and visibility, this is your chance to join me. I’m looking for official sponsors for this season — brands that want their name on more than just my jersey, but on a journey of perseverance, professionalism, and national pride.

Let’s show the world Brazil’s strength on the trails!

Thank you so much for being with me on this journey.

With gratitude,

Matheus Braian Neitzke
