Hart, Matthew Richardson and Thomas Cornish covered the loss of Matt Glaetzer (leg) to produce Australia's best result in the event since 2012.
They beat France in the bronze-medal race in Berlin early Thursday morning.
"It was unfortunate with Matt Glaetzer getting injured quite recently, but we backed Tom Cornish here and he delivered exceptionally today," Hart said.
"It was really great to string three solid rides together.
"I have never podiumed since my first champs in 2014, so this is definitely a highlight of my career."
