Swenson hasn't done enough acclimatisation - and is suffering for it. Schurter, Colombo et al have been there for weeks/ months....(Nino actually has a place there for the winter).
Sayig that, I wonder if stage racing simply doesn't suit him - and he can't recover enough over the week. He wouldn't be the first.

He came good on the last stage so I would say that stage racing wasn't the problem.

You named one of the potential issues, plus I heard that he didn't have the winter that he had planned, and that he was having intestinal issues all week (I don't have any confirmation of any of that though).
