No signal means that the truck is technically to blame, but my guess is that ex-Claude-rider knew that he'd rolled the dice by taking the inside at the junction without certainty that he could complete the pass before the lights changed.
IMO he's to be admired for his humility and realism - he knew the risks, gambled and lost, but I'm sure is grateful to escape with his life, unlike too many others.
