  History and Myths: The Tale of the Green Fairy
  
  Cycling is a sport where it is of the utmost importance to be well prepared. Any advantage over others can be the difference between winning or losing. That is why, deep in the Russian forests, the laboratory of NightmareChaos was testing to find new ways to get an edge. They tried medicine, they tried mechanics. But one day, they discovered that the biggest advantage was to be gained in the mystical world. They noticed that one of their test riders was visited by a Green Fairy one night. For the following 12 days, this rider was unbeatable. Soon after, the rumours about this Green Fairy spread to Greenride, and then the OCM World. Since that discovery, the managers of OCM have discovered the optimal ways and moments to get the Green Fairy to visit their riders. Some say that it even is impossible to win a big race without the Fairy!
