By being aggressive i mean having a bit of the mongrel in you, your never ever going to be at the sharp end of the sharp end without taking some calculated risks, when two riders are neck and neck its the aggressive one, the one who wont break first or change their line that is going to get in the front, nice guys go nowhere, if you want to be polite and open the door for me then im going to be infront of you until you out HP me on the straights.

As for ego we all have one ego equals confidence you can have a big ego without coming across like a up your self look down your nose type of person, if you dont believe in your self (have some ego) then how can you ever compete let alone beat your adversaries.

I said aggressiveness and ego the negative side of these traits is "stroppy and up yourself" but you need to employ the positive side of these traits if you want to stand out from amongst the masses.
I agree with your comments about being "skilled, smart, methodical, analytical, adaptable, resilient, able to keep learning, have faith in their abilities/machine" read my blog i preach that stuff! the point im trying make make is what happened on Thursday was not anyones fault and i dont blame anyone for what happened, i didnt start to improve in my racing until i started to believe i could beat certain people and push through the pack.

As for the freaks of nature you mentioned i agree, i find them unassuming and even quiet in the pits but they do have egos and they are aggressive no doubt otherwise they wouldnt be where they are today right?

Cheers.
