I just saw on Cyclingnews that EF Education squeaked out the win in the TTT. Looking at the photos they had everyone on the new aero bikes and they took equipment choice pretty seriously. I saw a fair number of teams riding regular bikes and some without much attention to aero details. QuickStep was second with everyone on Venges.
EF did bring Phinney and Craddock specifically for the TTT, but for a team that has hasn't excelled at time trialing for the last 5 or so years, it is a pretty good result. Especially given that QuickStep are not a slouch TTT team.
