Briton Simon Yates remains in the Giro d'Italia's pink jersey, after a seventh stage won by Sam Bennett of Ireland.
New Zealand's George Bennett finished towards the rear of the peloton in 30th and remains ninth overall, losing no time on the leaders.
Yates, riding for the Australia-based Mitchelton-Scott team, took the leader's jersey from Rohan Dennis on Thursday's Stage Six, the first time the Aussie had surrendered it in this year's Giro.
Bennett beat Elia Viviani in a sprint finish to win the 159km ride along the Tyrrhenian sea on Saturday (NZ time).
Italian Viviani (Quick-Step Floors), already winner of two stages in the 2018 race, started his effort a tad too early and was eventually overpowered by Bora-Hansgrohe's Bennett, who claimed his maiden Grand Tour stage win.
Italian Niccolo Bonifazio (Bahrain-Merida) took third place.
"I'm really happy," said Bennett. "We tried so hard in other sprints, but never got the timing right.
"The team did a fantastic job and I want to thank everyone who helped me get to this point."
Dennis sits sixth overall, 53 seconds off the pace. Yates' teammate, Esteban Chaves, is third.
The eighth stage is a 208km ride from Praia a Mare to Montevergine di Mercogliano.
