Max Novak finished third in the overall long-distance race cup, with, among other things, a second place in the Birkebeinerrennet with him from this year's season.

For three seasons he has represented Team Ramudden, together with, among others, Ida Dahl and Lina Korsgren.

Now he tells SVT Sport that there will be no continuation in the team, the contract will not be renewed.

- Must take this chance, he says, but adds:

- I have had three good years there (Team Ramudden) and am grateful for the time and the chance I got to develop there.

Can build a team around Novak

Among other things, Team Eksjöhus has heard from them to recruit Novak, something that is not relevant.

Instead, there are four main options.

- We will actually build a team around me in two of these alternatives, it is teams that do not exist right now, it is an exciting opportunity.

Do you have a new club ready already now?

- No, I do not have that, but we are working on it and I have four good alternatives right now.

- I will go to some meetings in the coming weeks, it's exciting, he says.
