Correct answer
A sideways push when no longer sheltered by the large vehicle.
The large vehicle can temporarily shelter you from the wind; when leaving that shelter, a gust may push you sideways. This is the shielding effect. Adapt speed, maintain clearance and act smoothly. Do not confuse the interruption and return of crosswind with a slipstream supposedly explaining the entire manoeuvre.
