Problem Statement

In the acute triangle ABCABC, the bisectors of A,BA,B and CC intersect the circumcircle again at A1,B1A_1,B_1 and C1C_1, respectively. Let MM be the point of intersection of ABAB and B1C1B_1C_1, and let NN be the point of intersection of BCBC and A1B1A_1B_1. Prove that MNMN passes through the incentre of ABC\triangle ABC.
