Would venture a guess that he may have been fast because (beyond his innate
talent):
a) he was very relaxed, having believed that he had no chance; or
b) he was carrying more speed through sections and using his brakes less,
knowing that he had to carry speed through the flatter sections.
I can't imagine that the result would have been the same on other tracks, like
Cairns with the massive pedal at the end.
Either way, it was pretty incredible to watch.
