IMHO, the only "defence" for Peterhansel is that he was driving the only "drivable on 4 wheels" line through the water. Looking at the water and the turbulance in it, it seems that upstream of the left side of the car (and left hand wheels) the water is much deeper (hence smooth flowing water) and it then hits the shallow ford and gets its turbulance. He should however still not have run into the rider.
If my hypothesis isn't correct, Peterhansel is a tosser, a garlic eating surrender monkey tosser at that.
