$\textbf{Answer}$
The second place because he does not pass the leading person.
$\textbf{Note}$
If you have answered correctly, you must have realized the trap. On the other hand, if you answer "the first place", you should ask yourself where is the trap or why this is a brain teaser. Remember: a problem is a brain teaser for a reason.
