Correct answer
Yes, in the stated situation and with the legal conditions met.
Yes. Article 88.2 permits passing a cyclist even on a section where overtaking is prohibited if no danger is created. It is not general permission to pass any slow vehicle. Comply with article 85.4: use part or all of the adjacent lane and leave at least 1.5 m in this case, without endangering or obstructing oncoming users, including those on the shoulder. Outside built-up areas, reduce speed to at least 20 km/h below the road limit throughout the manoeuvre. A complete lane change is required on carriageways with more than one lane per direction.
