Who said anything about stopping? That's your word not mine.
In this case the cyclist should have slowed down at least before entering the intersection, to get behind the truck. It isn't safe to ride beside any vehicle in the right lane approaching an intersection when you cannot know if they are going to turn and you cannot be sure they have seen you. Particularly when you are in their blind spot, but that's just me. If you want to play Russian Roulette that's your choice.
