Riding Motor Since 1950
Easy to happen, did something similar following another rider into a circle, he slowed, looked left, saw opening and started accelerating. I looked left, saw opening and started accelerating. When I looked forward he had changed his mind and stopped.
I was lucky to be on a different line and cruised pass him, but it was close. Looking back if I was not trying to stay with the group probably would have stopped and waited for next break in traffic.
Hopefully you and the other rider did not get hurt.

What pissed me off at myself is that I have witnessed two of the same type incidents while riding behind the motors involved. I should have been a little more vigilant.
I did allow enough space/time for him to be clear of me, but I did NOT anticipate his falling over.
