Herczig also retires with suspension damage after hitting a wall.

He retired twice from the same rally - after crashing on the first stage of the first leg and today on the first stage of the second leg.

Yes, didnt exactly turn out to be a good event for him.

Lukyanuk says that he took only one spare tyre, because his plan was to go fast and try to be as fast as possible. Now he is out of the rally:

Will it cost him the championship?

I think the Barum test crash & DNS will cost him the title more than this rally, obviously it doesn't help him that he couldn't score good points here.

This Sete Cidades stage has to be one of the most iconic/spectacular stages in the world

If no issue for him, Mikkelsen will secure the title in Hungary (no need to go in Canarias in that case so he could go to Monza) because Marczyk and Llarena are consistent but too average to beat him on this basis (especially with the 7 out of 8 rules)
Finally, his new approach since his crashes may allow him to win both WRC-2 and ERC titles. But not sure it will be enough to give him a WRC spot (even part-time) in terms of absolute performance. Even if I think a M-Sport deal (part-time WRC + full 7-rounds WRC-2 season) would be a good deal for both if M-Sport wants to improve its Rally2 car (like Citroen did with Ostberg). But it needs M-Sport to make some investment with Mikkelsen
