I barely go over 40 when the roads are wet...this guy is Drifiting it into the corners hard on the brakes.

Guys got skill.
Race rain tires are ultra sticky. Your fingers can stick to it.

Right. In the rain, you lean off the bike, not lean the bike. You can actually lean so far off the bike that you are pushing the bike vertical. Makes riding in the rain easy. But still look out for manhole covers and vinyl ped-crossing strips. Those are slippery when wet.
