Australia's Jai Hindley seven seconds off the lead at Giro d'Italia after stage 14, as Richard Carapaz takes the maglia rosa.

Simon Yates went solo in the finale to win the 14th stage of the Giro d'Italia as Richard Carapaz took over as overall race leader — but Jai Hindley is looming in second place after a brilliant tactical ride by the Australian and his team.

Overall, Carapaz now leads Hindley by seven seconds, and Portugal's Joao Almeida, who took sixth place 39 seconds behind Yates, by 30 seconds.
