Suffering from arm pump doesn't mean you lack talent! It happens to a lot of riders.
Apart from his first season, Casey has outperformed every team mate he has had massively, you cannot make a direct comparison against riders on other bikes as different bikes suit different riding styles, Casey has won championships on two very different bikes just like Valentino did in the mid naughties. If you were looking for a rider for a your team you would pick the one who is proven to be quick whatever he is riding and at the moment that is Casey.
