Yes, too much throttle and power for the wet road. Just because the display went from 33mph to 36mph, doesn't mean that little power was applied. He could've been at 100% throttle and there was only enough traction to allow a 33 -> 36mph acceleration. That 36mph may just have been the limit. Doesn't matter if he was at 25% or 50% or 100% throttle, anything over the traction limit was too much.
To help with these situations, keep the bike as upright as possible. Lean the body inwards while keeping the bike upright. Then when too much power is applied, it would just spin the back tyre. However, the bike will be stable and will go in a straight line with the back tyre spinning. In this case, it doesn't matter how much or how little traction there is, the back tyre can be spinning at 36mph or 100mph, it will still be much more stable than when leaned over.
