In the Tour de France, what is the position of a rider, after he passes the second placed rider?

Common Wrong Answers
“First”
A rider can only be in first place after passing the first placed rider, not the second.
“Third”
After passing the second placed rider, the rider takes the second position, not the third.
“Last”
The rider is moving ahead, not falling behind, so he cannot be in the last position after passing another rider.
