2017 is obviously a really big year in the WRC. New cars, likely plenty of movement in the driver market. So it gives them some options certainly. It also gives an insight perhaps into Skoda's plans next year - i.e. not good news for the ERC.
Nice, but it would be good if he will have the chance to drive 3-4 round with a WRC if he confirms his actual level until the end of this year. Don't know how it's possible with a Skoda contract. Maybe VW could make him use a 2014 Polo?
