The vote remained close until the end but in the final straight, the rugby player from SO Chambéry Colin Lebian joined and left behind his most serious rival in the race for the Sportsman’s Trophy of the month of October from Dauphiné Libéré, the professional cyclist from Beaufortain Alex Baudin.
As happened last month between SOC swimming swimmer Émile Vincent, finally winner in September, and Aix-Maurienne basketball player Corentin Falcoz, a pure product of the Savoyard orange ball, the mano a mano remained undecided until on the last morning of the ten days of online voting on our site www.ledauphine.com.
And the vote in favor of 3e helmeted line of SOC rugby, a Burgundian for three seasons in Savoie who became an emblematic player of the Yellow and Black, was decided by 53 votes in the end (715 for the rugby player who remained undefeated with his club in October – two successes and a draw for a place as leader of the division – and 35% of the votes) compared to 662 for the Decathlon-AG2R rider – 32% of the votes – who signed with a foreign team next season (EF Education-Easy Post).
Aix professional golfer Nastasia Nadaud, author of an exciting second season on the European pro circuit at not yet 20 years old (5 top 10s in 10 tournaments played, including 4e place in Taiwan in October) who has been in the lead for a long time, takes the third step of the podium with 20% of the votes.
