If.... he was an experience rider
I don't think he was going to fast.
He did have a line that wasn't ideal, but was workable
He did make steering corrections (throttle + steering)
Can't say if his tires were cold or not???
Wet/damp pavement I am sure was a factor
At the speeds in the video, being crossed up doesn't help but isn't the cause either... perhaps a contributing factor
Too much lean angle? Dunno for sure, vid is unclear but doesn't lead to that conclusion
Adding lean + throttle = skidmarks....
Are there reasons why he had to add lean? sure! The video starts out with him shaking his head that something isn't right. I don't know for sure what that is. imho, these are self fulfilling prophecies. Learning to catch them early enough is what is hard. :\
