just had another look at the clip to try and make some sense of it. he was defo riding for the camara and not concentrating on his line's. I noticed at approx 26.35 "just before the crash" in-effect he "fifty pence" his way round the two left hander's, he enterd the first left hander to sharp. then the road straightened out abit, where he had no choice but to lessen the lean to compenstate. which caused him to run straite, he then had no time to loose the speed and due to the wrong line he was forced to take for the second left hander caused him to lean the bike more than he would have needed to do if he had got his line and speed correct. he may have even got away with it, but the exact moment his rear wheel lost grip it appear's the road service was very poor, look's like there was loose gravel or the road service was damaged or some sought of dark patch that caused his rear wheel to slip, anyway that's best I can come up with. just hope the guy was not seriously hurt, am sure if he still riding he won't make the same mistake again.
getting on now...  but not as old as Rog or Geoff
