Great Britain stormed to a second successive gold medal in the men?s team pursuit and shattered their own world record with a time of three minutes 51.659. Golden boys: Edward Clancy, Geraint Thomas, Steven Burke and Peter Kennaugh of Great Britain (Picture: Getty Images) Ed Clancy, Geraint Thomas, Peter Kennaugh and Steve Burke produced an empathic show in an electric Velodrome to see off Australia and successfully defend the title they won four years ago in Beijing. Team GB opened up a three tenths of a second gap over the Aussies after 1km, and stretched that to six-tenths after 2km. At that point the British quartet were in full flow, and Australia were powerless to stop Clancy, Thomas, Kennaugh and Burke from romping home a whole 2.9sec ahead. Force: Geraint Thomas of Great Britain (Picture: Getty Images) World champion cyclist and BBC Sport pundit Mark Cavendish said: ?That was incredible, the noise in here was the most incredible thing I have ever heard. I had goosebumps. The lads looked on fire.? Earlier, New Zealand streaked away from Russia to easily take the bronze medal in a time of three minutes 55.952 seconds.
