He waited, then went as the rider approached, and as he turned he just went full gas. I would have expected the driver to see him late and brake, and the cyclist be able to evade, but the driver's acceleration was quite brutal, given the road conditions. And even if he thought the cyclists was turning as well due to his positioning he had the opportunity to go before the cyclist got there. The road was wide and straight, clear of vehicles beyond a cyclist wearing bright red. Either it was a brain fart of monumental proportions of he did it on purpose.
That said there is no way I'd cycle on a road like that.
