Racing & Combat
2017 saw the Tour begin in Dusseldorf, and while it was a British rider, Geraint Thomas, who won the opening stage, German fans did get some joy in Stage 2 when a local sprinter won the stage and took the green sprint jersey. This rider had already had some success, winning the Tour's opening and final stages in both 2013 and 2014. He'd go on to win four more stages in the 2017 Tour, though his struggles in the intermediate hill stages meant he was not able to hold onto the green jersey. Name this German sprinter.

Name the country that Suleymanoglu originally represented and defected from.

The closest edition of the Cup to take place on American soil occurred in 2005, with the International Team actually holding the lead after the completion of the first two sessions, and remaining tied heading all the way into Sunday Singles. The Americans proved to be too much in Singles, with the International side only managing 4.5 points. The points in their singles matches came from a little known golfer named Peter Lonard and a quartet of major champions…though one of that quartet had not yet won his majors. Two of the major winners captured just one major, while the others captured two apiece. Name any three of these four players.
