The men’s team sprint of Ethan Mitchell, Sam Webster and Eddie Dawkins defended their title from Glasgow, by leading England through every lap to roll to a 0.670s triumph.
Mitchell powered through the first lap to take a 0.207s hold, Webster kept parity after the second lap with a 0.168s advantage which left Dawkins to power home and complete their run in 42.877s.
The result avenged their sixth at February's world championships and justified their commitment to a plan.
Earlier, they set a Games record of 42.822s, 0.694s clear of their final opponents.
