The Lawson Homes Cycling Team was devastated by the untimely death of Will Robinson during a training ride near Cethana in March 2010. Will was one of our senior team members and had a bright future ahead of him in both cycling and in life. He was loved and admired by all, and his attitude and commitment to his sport set a benchmark that we all aspire to reach. His loss is deeply felt by the team. |

"There are so many nice things you could say about Will. He was one of the founding members of our team and as a senior member he was a mentor and friend to the younger riders. You just couldn't ask for a finer young gentleman. He was a fine sportsman and you couldn't get a better kid. It is going to be a sad loss to everyone, and such a tragic event." Team manager Ken Lawson
