Problem Statement

The incircle of the acute-angled triangle ABCABC is tangent to the sides AB,BC,CAAB, BC, CA at points C1,A1,B1,C_1, A_1, B_1, respectively, and II is the incenter. Let the midpoint of side BCBC be M.M. Let JJ be the foot of the altitude drawn from MM to C1B1.C_1B_1. The tangent drawn from BB to the circumcircle of BIC\triangle BIC intersects IJIJ at X.X. If the circumcircle of AXI\triangle AXI intersects ABAB at Y,Y, prove that BY=BM.BY = BM.
