I can sort of understand the first touch/push, but the second one almost causes the rider on the left to lose control and he didn't seem to be a) deviating from his line and b) there was still plenty of room for the rider on the inside to make the turn. There's a drainage grate there, but it wasn't that bad and could be ridden over easily.
Complete over reaction on the guy on the right part. WTF for the guy on the left. I probably would have just stuck elbow out, held my line, and chugged along. I noticed people in 4's tend to freak out a bit when contact happens.
