Lance probably used that test Trek for power metering. They'd adjust his position and measure aerodynamics and power generation and then if they found he could generate enough power for long enough, THEN they'd worry about building a bike that met regulations for the record.
He probably couldn't meet the power requirements and would rather finish on a 7-tour high than a 'missing the hour record' low.
