I dont know much about riding motorbikes but it looks like the front wheel broke loose and he got into a bit of a tank slapper trying to recover.
...it looked to me like the back wheel slid under the jab of power he gave it as he was setting himself up for the left hander...then the resulting mess the machine was in was in no way able to turn it into the left hander with the bike in a knot.....bad riding...

Bikes scare me shitless.....
I would last a quarter of an hour
Looked like the back went because of too much right hand. Happned to my mate at mallory on Saturday. He lost the back on the wet and highsided when he got to the dry. Went unconscious and as the paramedics woke him up he thought he was at the bus stop (corner) and thought he had controlled the slide.
Looked to me like he slid the tail under throttle, probably due to dust at the side of the road. He rolled off suddenly making the bike wobble. By the time the bike had settled he was already aimed at the wall and was on the gravelly looking stuff at the side of the road (is that a track before the bridge?) and was unable to turn in due to:
A) Shat himself and frozen.
B) Couldn't lean it without dropping it (gravel)
C) Target fixation (was looking at the wall, damn sure he was gonna hit there!)
D) All of the above

Why? Would you shy away from a blast in a performance car, or the chance to loose off a few rounds from a Desert Eagle, or flying a plane...? Unless you are a quadraplegic dyslexic with Parkinsons disease there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to operate a machine, and that's all a bike is. It's as dangerous as you make it. If you can drive a car and ride a bicycle, you can handle a motorcycle

looks to me like a dab of front brake caused the wheel to dive under and he had no idea what to do and got target fixation
I think that looked like the most likely scenario although I can’t see any brake light. What was obvious to me was that by attempting to put his feet down, thus taking them off the pegs, he pretty much lost all control of the bike.
