To me it doesn't look like the bike folder as Colin said at an interview afterwards. If you watch the reply he turns in, knee down and he just kinda slips off and the bike stays at its angle the it leans a little more when he pulls himself back on. But, Colin was tryng to blame to unmatched tyres at the interview.
After all, it may have been the tyres but from the replay angle it look as if he just slipped off. The bike looked planted. Might of be a case of new slippery leathers.

Nah, watch the left hand, you see him wiggle slightly to get some traction back. Too much and a highside, too little and it slides away. I wouldn't be in a hurry to take away from the skill here. Fantastic save.

I didn't say/imply he didn't have skill for saving it, quite the opposite. I'm talking about how it happened, not what he did to correct it.
The bike was over, he was steady, the bike was steady then suddenly he reacts as if he is about to crash; he jerked but the bike didn't move before, during or after he jerked meaning it wasn't the bike, something else like slippery leathers must of been the reason because the bike only move when h e pulled him self back on the bike.

After looking more closely, he did fall off, but not becuase he slipped, but 'cause he was pulled!
After watching the interview with colin he says he came into the corner a little too fast, which therefore means he had to lean alot further. If you look very closely at 0:31you will see his leg is almost in full contact with the ground, the leathers then grip and drag his foot&leg nearly under the back wheel which pulls him off the bike hence the jerk!

Protections for the knee have more grip than the tires :-)
