Did they mean to do that or was it just the noraml reasons for a floated landing?
At a guess, given that people earlier had expressed "surprise" at how quickly it got airborne, maybe it's generating more lift than they expected, so a light aircraft (in comparison) and more lift, given they were not about to bring the speed right back = float

it was noticable that they were a lot more aggressive with the roll rates and bank angles than when it first launched.

All in all, impressive, and maybe at last europe's aviation industry can start to hold it's head even higher.
