pillion è quello che in moto sta dietro il conducente, ovvero passeggero (probabilmente nel tuo caso non potevano andare via guidando - per questioni di assicurazione o altro, ma qualcuno dell'organizzazione guidava e il vincitore sedeva dietro)

Notes for Pillions
If you've never been on the back of a bike before, chances are that your friend will take it easy to start with. We've put a few tips together to make your ride more enjoyable.
Relax, don't sit there as stiff as an old board.
Lean with the motorbike. That is don't deliberately lean around corners. Just relax and go with the bike.
Don't try to sit bolt upright around corners.
Don't fidget at high or low speeds.
Arrange a signal with the rider if you are uncomfortable. A dig in the ribs usually works!
Don't get off the motorbike until the rider has both feet on the ground and is aware that you are about to get off , again it's good to arrange a signal.
If your rider is filtering through traffic, remember that the bike is harder to handle at low speeds, so the less movement you make will help steady the bike.
Expect the unexpected. Watch the road so you can anticipate any sudden braking or accelerating.
During braking, you will lunge forward slightly and will probably nut your riders lid, prepare yourself on the approach of junctions and roundabouts by a) gripping the grab rail to steady yourself or b) if you are holding on to the rider twist your hand to the tank to take off the strain and to prevent you sliding into the riders seat.
During acceleration you will lunge back a little. If your holding on to a rear grab rail then just grip a bit tighter to steady yourself, leaning forward will help so long as you are not putting your body weight on the rider.
If you are holding on to the rider during acceleration then it is easier to steady yourself.
Don't distract the rider whilst moving. They need their concentration on the road.
