To prevent overlapping wheels, they often install a roller (just like a pizza dough roller) right behind the rear wheel of the motorbike so the bicycle rider behind can get really close without overlapping the wheel causing a wreck. If they hit the roller with their front wheel, the roller just spins, causing no harm but a ever so slightly slow down to the rider drafting.
