Self confidence and ability are two totally different things.
Andy is bound to do his usual thing of attacking early on the climbs two or three times then dawdle around to see if Frank will bridge the gap, allowing the gap attack to be neutralised.
When Contador puts in a devastating attack Andy will crack and meekly follow for second place.
The only way Contador will be beaten is if he throws a giant whitey or if the other favourites conspire against him to attack in a calculated way, e.g. putting someone in the top ten in a break then refusing to chase, then doing that the next day and the next until Contador's boys crack.
Not very sporting, but it might work.
