The investigation revealed that the cube van forced the cyclist onto the left shoulder, causing the rider to catapult into the air and land hard on the gravel, police say.
Police say the medical support team for the event was in the area at the time of the crash and immediately tended to the cyclist.
Officers say the male cyclist was transported to hospital, where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries before being released.
