I don't know about Swift, but it seems after the crash, he is out of shape and he doesn't want to sprint at all. The Sky tactics are just horrible, Eisel is nowhere to be seen.

Any tactic is better than wait and be beaten in the end anyway. They tried it, dropped Bouhanni, but it didn't work out eventually. At least they tried.

The best tactic was to give him a good leadout. The only time in this race they tried that he beat all of the riders in today's stage. Leave him alone and his positioning is woeful.

No, they didn't. Bouhanni is quite a good climber, he has top 10s in uphill finishes.
Not being an idiot, he was sitting about 20th wheel to save energy, while Swift was sitting at the front burning himself out and got swallowed up and spit out when the pace quickened even before the crash.
