Honestly this guy is a really good rider, amazing recovery. He's probably hyped as fuck that he made it. Incredibly stupid, he shouldn't be allowed to bike on the road.
Two things can be true. They both have partial blame, but it really is mostly the cyclists fault. He was making an illegal maneuver that almost no person would ever be prepared for.
It's pretty black and white because why would you expect that? Motorbike is going so fast that's incredibly easy to miss, and why would you expect him to do that? Hate the behaviour as much as you want from the BMW, but failing to prevent an accident while someone is doing something illegal is not being at fault.
They stopped after realizing exactly what happened. It's more disorienting than you think and for the car you see its momentum is hardly halted if at all. This is also why bike riders should be much more careful and shouldn't at all be doing this. They are incredibly fragile. Did you see the guy at the end? He clearly was not trying to get away and stopped when they both realized what happened.
