Sounds like it was entirely opportunistic. He had good late season form.

“A lot of riders in the peloton think that they can better Voigt’s performance,” IAM Cycling manager Serge Beucherie told L’Équipe. “Matthias’ merit is to have understood that, if he had a chance to write his name in history, it was now or never.”

Yeah, he basically just did the exact same thing as Voigt....saw an opporutnity and took it, knowing the window would not be open long.

He apparrently did a 45' test earlier this week that indicated he could go 52+, so he decided to go for it. Came up just short of that, but still gets his name in the history books.
