Don't forget: the @'s starting their had no team or company behind them - 
they all were privatiers.

KTM e.g. sells the competition bike with solid parts from the company - at 
the @, you have to set up the bike on your own.

And, most of the KTM drivers are professionals - the @'s seem to be hobby 
drivers.
