Great video indeed.  And I point my knee to turn as well.     Actually surprising that you can initiate an easy turn just with that motion.  But that's clearly the extent of the comparison.
However, it looks to me that he is doing it John's way, his upper body is counter balanced out over the outside handlebar even on those turns where he drops his hips inside, and that looks to be a movement that allows the leg to be nearly vertical over the pedal??
Your earlier tip would have his upper body more inside the turn in the same plane as the bike wheels, if i got it correctly?
I especially liked some of his moves getting around and through the motorcycles and traffic, with a bit of subtle drafting of the team cars in the process. And then my mind boggles at the pain and consequences of a mistake.
