I like these parades through the spinning wheels, but they are suddenly being treated as a noble and ancient tradition: I don't think I had ever seen it before Simon Greschke's last race a year ago. Certainly such notable retirements as Valverde and Nibali simultaneously calling it a day at Lombardia 2022, celebrated at the start, did not see this.

What's the origins? Is it really an honoured historical rite?

Not sure, but I think the tradition comes from the six days circuit.
