Phil Gaimon has a bigger filming crew and mechanic crew and more attention getting KOMs that when he was a pro.
Of course the kind of races he was doing made a win likely more significant. He won San Luis › Villa Mercedes Jan 20, 2014. Other than that, not so much winning. Phillip Gaimon

When a local racer compares a local *significant* KOM to a local race - I think the KOM takes it. Not over a national race, but certainly a local one.
