The leader is given a pink jersey to wear. It is pink because the newspaper that started the Giro (La Gazetta dello Sport) was printed on pink paper.
There is not way to determine if he will win.
'Tour of Italy' is an English equivalent of 'Giro di Italia'. The Italian phrase also may be written 'Giro d'Italia' because of one letter 'i' right after another. Either way, it's pronounced 'DJEE-roh dee-TAH-lyah'.

The Giro d'Italia is typically 23 days. This includes 21 days of racing and two rest days. This is a similar format to the other two Grand Tours in professional cycling: Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana.
Most famous is probably the Tour de France - in France, then there's Giro di Italia, in Italy, which is quite well known too.
Not all of them are. While there might be some teams that have partly pink team clothing, there's only ONE pink jersey that's important, and that's the one worn by the overall leader. Giro di Italia was born pretty much the same way as Tour de France was, a newspaper decided to host a sports event to generate interest and sell more copies. In france that newspaper was printed on yellow-dyed paper, in Italy it was pink. And before the days of readily available, up-to-date media, the different color jerseys were a helpful tool for spectators to know when a top rider was passing by.
