Looks like it was won by a guy on a cyclocross bike who barely edged out a guy on a Slate(not that that really says anything about what's best for that course.)
The long shot of the lead group in that article shows very nearly all of them on CX bikes, so I would say it tells you everything about what's best for that course. Well, best meaning "fastest," in this case. Other criteria may exist, but in the case of a race, that's what I think of.
