Maybe a fisheye lens? Maybe by a passenger on the bike in the picture? Or else somebody is riding with their nose in this bikes exhaust pipe???? ???

I thought about passenger... but the angle's a tough one. They'd have had to be standing, and against the lean, in a turn where the bike is somewhat leaned over the other way. And the shot is crisp.

Upon review, maybe he wouldn't have to be standing... it looks like an extreme wide angle lens, which would create the gap between the camera and the rider, I guess.

Riding in the snow? Not me.
