It's been a stellar Commonwealth Games for the kiwi cycling team in Birmingham.

Veteran rider Aaron Gate is one of those basking in the success.

He joined the triple golden club yesterday alongside women's cyclist Elesse Andrews, taking out gold in the team pursuit and individual pursuit and then the men's 40 kilometre points race.

On Thursday he'll switch to his road bike for the men's time trial.
