Mike, staying left risks being cut up across the box junction, especially if the over-taker puts you in their blind spot. All this is made worse by the fact the exit cuts and apex..wherever you get an apex you get an increased risk of being sandwiched between a vehicle and the gutter. So the cyclist might have stayed in the right (also ahead) lane to make themself more visible to other road users. Hope this helps mate.
