Yates has also closed the gap on GC leader Thomas De Gendt, 27 seconds behind GC top spot.
"I had the best legs in the final section," said Yates, who finished was one second behind Primoz Roglic at last week's Tirreno Adriatico.
"There'll be more of the same tomorrow. There's plenty of time to get the overall lead here."
