Not really, the cyclist didn't have to slow down or alter course. Looks like the motorcyclist made good progress to me.
Now my flame proof coat is on and I'm going to hide.
You can't easily tell whether the cyclist slowed/braked from the footage. However, you can see that the cyclist moves a foot or two to the right on the approach to the junction in order to make himself more conspicuous.
As the frame grab below highlights - it's v close and it was poor judgement by the police motorcyclist. IME, this is unusual as it's cyclists and motorcyclists who bear the brunt of motorists' inattentional blindness (looming, motion camouflge etc).
Personally, I'd not report it and hope that the more savvy police rider (who stopped at the junction and appears to have clocked what happened) would have a word in his ear.
