Challenging climb to Montoso, with double-digit gradients for long stretches, very continuous. At the end it lets up and from Montoso to Rucas you catch your breath. At the top the views are interesting, the view dominates the plain for kilometres. The descent can be made from the Bagnolo side, it is fun and fast, on similar gradients to the Bibiana side.

Salita impegnativa fino a Montoso, con pendenze a due cifre per lunghi tratti, molto continui. Alla fine molla e da Montoso a Rucas si prende fiato. In alto i panorami sono interessanti, la vista domina la pianura per kilometri. La discesa si può fare dal lato di Bagnolo, è divertente e veloce, su pendenze simili al lato di Bibiana.
