As an act in violation of law, certainly. We give out tickets for that.
But, as an act of reckless, wilfull, or depraved indifference?
I think that's reaching. Over-reaching, even.
Maybe if he saw the bike, saw the stop sign, and decided that he would try to beat the bike through the intersection. But not merely blowing through the sign.
