It isn't a sprint jersey, it recognizes riders that are
always in the hunt for stage wins.

There are more competitions than I can keep track of. But
the Giro does have a competition consisting of mid-race
sprints. So it's like they have a sprint competition similar
to the Tour's but they separated it into the component parts.

I believe that there are intermediate points given at the Giro for the
points Jersey.

Well, looks like Wikipedia knows. And knows the relationship
to the Traguardo Volante (TV) sprints.
