Jason,
The track boys might have got all the glory recently, but you were the braveheart to the end.
You've got some great challenges ahead of you now, (I think the greats will be quaking in their cleats).

I can't think about what happened to you - it's too painful. So I think of the good times we spent together and that makes me smile. When you were staying in Glasgow a few years ago, we'd meet up and go for bike runs together. One of the best days I've ever had on the bike was the day we took the ferry to Dunoon and did the Tighnabruaich loop. We bumped into Dougie and Brian on the boat and we all went round together. Despite 2 cafe stops I still managed to get the knock. You fed me dates and banter and kept me going. On the final run-in to Dunoon I did a David Harman type interview with you giving a blow-by-blow account of your Glasgow - Dunoon victory. I can still hear us laughing all the way.
The sun shone on us all that day - it can't ever shine that bright again.
Caroline, Chloe and Morgan - if we can do anything to help you, ever, in any way - don't hesitate to call.
Much love
Hugh, Karen, Michael, Hughie and Alex Jamieson

I never met you. News of your death made me feeling sad and angry at the way it ended. This is a shocking waste of life. Condolences to your wife and daughters. They must be so proud of you.

Heard this unbelievable news when driving to work on Wednesday morning. It stopped me in my tracks. The last time I saw Jason was in Aberdeen at our 25 in September. I was looking forward to racing against him in the National 25 up here this summer. I won't get the chance now, but he'll always be with me when I ride my bike.
A truly great man, an inspiration, and a fantastic cyclist. Our thoughts are with your family at this terrible time
