(note that this was after he tested the I20 on gravel)
Also he walked into the I20 and immediately led after first gravel day of Spain, so he told the truth.

At the moment I wouldnt be surprised if Mikkelsen wants to go back to citroen. He clearly likes the C3 better on tarmac. And the car is going in the right direction on gravel. I cant see Hyundai being very happy with him either. Maybe they start to realise this wasnt a perfect match.
Whom would they replace him with? Paddon has comparable (slightly worse) results on gravel this year and he has never shown any good speed on tarmac.
Sordo said he doesn't want to do full season again.
Only clearly better option could be Lappi, who is still quite untested and unlikely to want to change so early. Latvala as mentioned is doing even worse than Mikkelsen this year and was also worse in 2016 when they were in same car.
