I watched that video in slow motion as close to frame by frame as I could follow. The cyclist was clearly coming in way too fast into that tight corner.

You can see that he is attempting to slow down as his bike gets sideways and then he gets up on his front wheel a bit. Clearly he was trying to slow down.

He actually managed to turn somewhat but I do not think he would have made the turn.

The Porsche had no chance, but I do have a problem with cars on the road during pro cycling events.

Note that as they were trying to slow people down, two more cyclists hit a motorcycle. What a disaster!
