As a rider, I can't imagine doing anything to incite rage in the driver of a vehicle that outweighs mine by a factor of 4 to 6 and who is surrounded by a protective cage of steel. He kicked her car and flipped her off? Nothing good could come of that.
It's two people who disrespected one another on the highway, lost control of their emotions (they "went limbic") and the one who was physically vulnerable died.
Reaction distance at 80 mph is about 117 feet and braking distance is 320 feet. The driver was chasing the motorcycle, he slowed down drastically and she overran him. I don't think she intended to murder him but she was primarily responsible for his death. I think his inciting behavior also contributed to his demise.
It was not murder.
