Bennett wins 7th stage as Yates maintains Giro lead
Ecuador's Richard Carapaz went solo in the finale to claim the Giro d'Italia eighth stage, a 208-km ride from Praia a Mare, as Briton Simon Yates retained the overall lead on Saturday.
"I had good legs from the bottom of the climb".
Astana's work was meant to set up Miguel Angel Lopez, who was the first to launch one of a dizzying spell of attacks in the final two kilometres with Pinot, Pozzovivo, and Giulo Ciccone (Bardiani CSF) also getting in on the action.
Dumoulin is a further six seconds behind.
"I think so", said the 25-year-old from Manchester.
There was an early break of three cyclists and the peloton allowed Davide Ballerini, Markel Irizar and Maxim Belkov an advantage of more than four minutes before it began to reel them in.

Yates, who had taken the overall lead on Thursday, rounding off several good performances in the hilly stages in Sicily, remains 16 seconds clear of the Dutchman Tom Dumoulin, who is a warm favourite to win the Giro.
By contrast Yates was the wearer of the pink jersey having controlled the situation during the long climb towards Montevergine, negotiating winding roads in sombre conditions through forests of beech and chestnut. "We knew because of the rain in the final, the hairpins would be very slippery. It's one of those things".
Four-time Tour de France victor Froome lost over a minute on his rivals, as Yates claimed his first stage win on the Giro, three days after letting teammate Chaves take victory on Mount Etna. He remained 1 minute, 10 seconds behind, but slipped to ninth place.
"Tomorrow will be a bit more hard", added Yates of Sunday's ninth stage which finished at 2,135 metres altitude at Gran Sasso d'Italia with a gruelling 26.5km climb at Campo Imperatore, where Benito Mussolini was imprisoned in 1943.
The Giro ends in Rome on May 27.
