Isle of Man TT 1968

Newly discovered, never before published, film of the 1968 Isle of Man TT races, I can spot Giacomo Agostini and Phil Read, but there are many more shots of riders, any help in identification would be appreciated.

Wonderful stuff but I had a lump in my throat watching it. Ive had my 1968 TT programme out while following it. magnificent to see this stuff. There is an almost total lack of any TT footage from 1967 to 1975. Many thanks.
