cross wind maneuver at hamburg

Looking at the video I had the following comment:

the left wing sink was in my opinion the result of the combination of:
1) strong left rudder application generating a lift wings asymmetry higer on the fasted wing (the right one)
2) the wind shadows area over the Left wing caused by the interference of the Airplane body decreasing lift
3) the cross wind over limit (10 kt?)

in addition ,becasue the control jokes are not mechanically linked I suspect that both pilots were flying the same plane in different way. The controls are electronically algebra corrected by the FBW system . I'm sure that in such extreme condition "dual Imput" is not what keep the plane more stable . But this is my own comment (non pilot) I comment this becausue I do not see any right spoilers command up even in the extreme left bank position.
