That's to break the wind, bring up the speed. At times, there are 20 people riding behind the motorbike fighting, elbowing each other jockeying for position hauling ass at 30 miles an hour on a bike without brakes.
A track racing cyclist need speed to develop a certain strength for a certain race. Motor pacing is one of the few ways to get one's heart rate and spin up. In racing, the two must communicate and the pacer can't go too fast to burn their rider out. Its interesting.
