Valentino Rossi and Casey Stoner produce stunning US Grand Prix battle, but Australian unhappy at some 'aggressive' moves.

"We have to work, to fix some of our problems, because it is a race to the end and the battle will be very hard. I have 25 points, which is a good advantage, but it's not amazing," he warned. "But anyway it was a good outcome. We have to work to try to go fast because last year was a disaster for us. There were a lot of problems. Today I have more points now than I had in all of last year, and I still have seven races to go. I'm strong and I'm ready for the battle."

Stoner meanwhile was quick to put the outcome of the US Grand Prix into perspective.

"We lost five points today," he said. "The important thing is that we've come away from here with 20 valuable points and after being written off in some quarters four races ago we now go on our summer holiday with a fighting chance of winning the title again. We're 25 points behind, which is a big gap, but there are seven races left and a lot can happen. We can take a lot of positives out of this weekend."
