How could the pilot have prevented this bumpy landing?

test program operated by several russian / us companies a few yrs ago with old russian Tu144.

Interesting is that you the different dynamics and control action lead to a very bumpy occassion .

It seems to me the pilot is trying to put the wheels on the runway when he should have just let it happen, starting a sequence hardly under his control..

Rugged russian airframe luckely
