Australia have easily won team pursuit gold over arch-rivals and hosts New Zealand at the track cycling World Cup in Cambridge.
Jack Bobridge, Luke Davison, Alexander Edmondson and Michael Hepburn finished 4.602sec ahead of the world champion Kiwi four on Saturday, clocking 3min 53.010sec.
Cameron Karwowski, Piet Bulling, Alex Frame and Regan Gough managed only a brief lead early on, finishing a distant second in 3:57.612.
In the women's team pursuit, world champions Australia were pushed all the way before pipping Canada by a mere .054sec in the gold medal race.
Ashlee Ankudinoff, Georgia Baker, Amy Cure and Isabella King finished strongly to clock 4:18.213 in downing Cali World Cup gold medallists Canada.
New Zealand's quartet produced their best time of the meet to take bronze after beating the United States by more than six seconds.
Rushlee Buchanan, Lauren Ellis, Jaime Nielsen and Georgia Williams clocked 4:23.011 to finish third.
"We just wanted to back it up and do another good ride," Buchanan said.
"We haven't been on the World Cup podium for a while, so it's definitely a confidence boost for us."
