(translated from Langrenn.com)
In response to the article in langrenn.com on Wednesday, “Ulvang mener Northug må få sin del av landslagskaka”, Terje Julusmoen on behalf of Press Team Northug issued a statement saying that Petter Northug’s relationship with the Norwegian Ski Federation was very good, he was happy to have a place on the team, and was also proud to be part of the best team in the world. The press release further stated that Northug would definitley not be joining a private team in place of the national team.
In an unrelated statement released today, “Northug står over sesongåpningen”, Press Team Northug also cited Northug’s decision to sit out the first World Cup races in Beitostolen so that he could get more rest.
