It just means that if the lead group of riders lap you, and as they pass by you can get on the back and draft off them. You can't help them stay clear of other riders, however. This is to prevent team tactics, where a rider can drop back deliberately to help a teammate stay clear of other riders. Remember, a lap on this velodrome (HDC) is only 250 meters, so it's quite common for riders to gain laps on other riders.
