Reading the YouTube comments etc it seems that the current working diagnosis is hemiplegic migraine, which is pretty scary but also a lot better in terms of what it could have been compared to the various other things.
I know his wife Laura is a GP and she would have been super concerned when he presented like he did. Hence why she was wanting to call an ambulance to get him to the nearest stroke unit. Clearly, (as is always the case in medicine retrospectively) his decision to still head out on a ride was not going to be the best decision and he is lucky in many ways that it never eventuated.
I don't think this has any relevance to things like him missing the turns in races in recent times, he doesn't describe any cerebral issues when those things happened (although there is always that possibility but it would be slim).
Good luck to him from here.

My bout with Covid messed my brain up so bad… I couldn’t remember employee names or a name of a small town next to mine. It was messed up.

Has gotten considerably better though - thank god - but never back to 100%

Would you be able to write down what you want to say or type it out? Just curious about how this works for you.

No -- it's like I've completely lost the ability to find the word or phrase, so I have to invent a way around it.

More often than not, when I'm in that dead end, I'll attempt to back out by changing course, and then find a new way to describe what it was I was trying to say in the first place.

I get straight writer's block now. For someone who usually operated best on the tightest of deadlines, that can be disastrous.
