Forget all that you know about databases - this one is one of its kind. Riders and teams have been replaced by all sorts of weird stuff, such as TV cartoons (Garfield), video game stars (Pac-Man), Star Wars characters and more.
In addition to this, you get to ride in races such as Tour of the Middle Earth and Tour of Springfield which look just as weird as you can imagine they will in a cycling game.
You can't really explain this database, but do make sure to check out the screenshots.
