Hushovd said the team is scheduled to be started with competitions in Tour of Down Under that year.

– First I have to build up the team and get it up and running. Then I’ll be directing it in a way or another, said Hushovd.

According to Johan Kaggstad should a verdenstourlag have an annual budget of 100 million a year.

– It may not be impossible, but it takes maybe time to get guaranteed for operation over several seasons, says Kaggestad.
