Problem Statement

Let MM be any point on the circumcircle of triangle ABCABC. Suppose the tangents from MM to the incircle meet BCBC at two points X1X_1 and X2X_2. Prove that the circumcircle of triangle MX1X2MX_1X_2 intersects the circumcircle of ABCABC again at the tangency point of the AA-mixtilinear incircle.
