Narrative:

At FL280 10 minutes into cruise we received an right 14th duct warning EICAS master warning. Radios were transferred to the flying pilot; the first officer. I performed the QRH for right 14th stage duct warning. The QRH required right 14th stage bleed closed and if message remained enunciated after 40 seconds then to retard the effected thrust lever to idle. The warning message persisted so the right thrust lever was brought to idle thrust and diversion to the nearest suitable airport was planned. We complied; advised ATC; contacted dispatch and maintenance while searching for suitable airports with long dry runways; and favorable weather conditions as we were surrounded by thunderstorms that we had been navigating through. We requested vectors to the [diversion] airport. Checklists were performed; flight attendant briefing; and passenger announcements and notifications were made. Dispatch re-released us to divert and were given fuel burn numbers to [the diversion airport]. Landing numbers were obtained and the aircraft was configured for a flaps 20 landing. Extra time was required for a proper abnormal landing briefing so we requested delay vectors and were given a series of right turns to return to the final approach course. Landing was made normally and without incident. We taxied to a gate that had been prepared for our arrival and passengers were deplaned after a short while once we pulled into the gate. Dispatch and maintenance were contacted by phone and crew was debriefed by chief pilot and were returned to duty status. A recover flight was sent so we could continue with passengers to our original destination.

Narrative: At FL280 10 minutes into cruise we received an Right 14th Duct Warning EICAS master warning. Radios were transferred to the flying Pilot; the FO. I performed the QRH for R 14th stage duct warning. The QRH required R 14th stage bleed closed and if message remained enunciated after 40 seconds then to retard the effected thrust lever to idle.
