I have heard that when it comes to racing its more like 50% of it is mental. you can do all the training in the world, but if you don't have the mindset then you won't do well. "bad thoughts" are self defeating.

I am trying to get a discussion going on my local club's forum when someone postsed an article saying training for a Time Trial was 85%, gear was 5% and the "brain" (as she called it in the article) was 10%...

I really don't think the head stuff is only 10%, cause if you don't get that right, you can do really badly, but if you get it right, and you've done the training, then you should do reasonably well at least.
