Well, on the first run of that stage he was 19s quicker than Moura, and at that point Lukyanuk was cruising... So gaining a position by driving flat out was very realistic.
Also Lukyanuk said it must've broken on the first corner of the stage. Anyway, no matter how it happened, I hope this doesn't bring any financial issues for him for the rest of the season.
