Kenny Roberts has said he could run at 100% for maybe 3 laps tops, so he was running the majority of the race at a comfortable mental pace (for him).

Relating to what you mentioned, I've heard that you have only so much mental concentration to "spend", and how/where you spend it (the majority of your focus on the bike, or the track, or the fuel, or whatever) make all the difference.

Reducing your focus in one area helps free-up mental energy that can be better used in other areas.
