EF have raced on the Synapse, I think Specialized’s Diverge has been used at Roubaix before. But not much in the World Tour as the surfaces haven’t require it…yet.
That’s why Trek Segafredo, EF, Canyon/SRAM, Alpecin Fenix, etc, are sending riders to gravel races…to sell those new gravel bikes.
snoops-
Nah they have only used various versions of Roubaix.

True, and problably good exposure for a cheap investment.
as for those gravelbro races to become something else than a niche american thing, i'm a bit dubious, the format doesn't seem to allow great filming and provide much excitment.

EF riders haven’t ridden actual gravel bikes in any gravel races to date, they have chosen to ride either the SuperX or the SuperSix. The bikes they are riding in that pic you linked are SuperX’s, which is a CX bike, not a gravel bike.

Has a pro used a gravel bike in a race yet? Aren't they all just using their normal bikes with different tyres?
