The truck was still too close, no?
"Counsel: How big was the gap between the lorry and the kerb?
MJ: There was a considerable gap.
Counsel: looking at the drawing, was the lorry further than a metre from
the kerb?
MJ: Yes, a bit more than a metre. Yes."
Only a bit more than a metre between truck and kerb? That's not enough. If a bike is riding 30cm from the kerb and they have a 2m tall 'fall zone'.. that's nowhere near far enough away.
I can't work it out in the report - did the truck pass her or did she ride up the inside of the truck?
