As noted in the comments, the rider was relatively inexperienced and panicked because he thought he was carrying too much speed into the upcoming turn. Sportbike brakes only require two fingers on the lever to achieve a launch like that. Considering the contact area of the front tire the grip is somewhat impressive.
