Combative prize (tours)

[Hoefs Cycling Team]

The "combative" prize is currently awarded based on individual votes. Is it possible for this prize to be automatically awarded to the rider who has done the most pace-setting kilometers in the breakaway?

It sometimes happens that a few teams of friends award this prize to one another. (That happened in my Giro.)

As it stands, I would rather not have this prize. The idea is nice, but in practice, it doesn't work the way it is now.

What is your opinion on this? What is technically possible in terms of potentially changing this?
