I don't think these gloves are integrated in the TT suit... These are the special Nike time trial gloves; I have them as well (in another colour though).
See them on these pics:

It is carbon...I'm sure it is...and the cranks are definitely not black..here's another pic:
Bed4d SL: check the smily of Divve. Ever heard about sarcasm?
Or read the topics of last year about those special DA cranks
The picture of the front wheel I saw was these. On that one it looked to me more as alu. And on the picture of divve it looked like carbon.

The front wheel here and here are not the same.
The one with alu braking surface has a 'HED.' sticker and the full carbon one that Lance actually rode during the TT has a 'HED. 3' sticker.

I heard Oakley were working on shades with radio communication in them. Perhaps these are the prototypes.

It's possible the lines for the ear piece and mike are plugged into a transmitter in the frame.

He had a pedals problem in the Dauphiné and Tour prologue. I rode SPD-SL for more than 30.000 kms and only once had the kind of problem he had.
I think his time trial booties were to blame on this one. It happens quite a lot here on the track when the lyrac gets between the cleat and the pedal. Still clips in but the effort from the start line is enough to pull the foot.
The FSA cranks that the CSC fellas were using looks to be a road version of FSA's track cranks. One of the fellas from here has got them and its only a fairing. My guess would be that theyve incorporated them into the outboard design, hence the lack of allan key holes.

To answer my own question about the cranks on Dave and Basso's bike cyclingnews had a little write up about them.
FSA's new cranks
FSA is trialling some dramatic new aero cranks at the Tour - and they're already scored a huge success under Dave Zabriskie with the CSC rider's stage 1 victory in the fastest-ever Tour time trial.
The new cranks are appearing on CSC's, Cofidis' and Liberty Seguros' bikes, and feature a carbon fiber chanring intended to improve both stiffness and aerodynamics. FSA's Ric Hjertberg told Cyclingnews, "Our FSA TT Carbon crankarm has an aero profile and FSA is testing prototype bottom brackets using ceramic bearings, which provide lower friction and weight due to their harder bearing surfaces."
FSA has yet to decide whether the new cranks will become a production item.
