Let $ABC$ be a triangle and let $D, E$ and $F$ be the midpoints of sides $BC, CA$ and $AB$, respectively. Let $X\ne A$ be the intersection of $AD$ with the circumcircle of $ABC$. Let $\Omega$ be the circle through $D$ and $X$, tangent to the circumcircle of $ABC$. Let $Y$ and $Z$ be the intersections of the tangent to $\Omega$ at $D$ with the perpendicular bisectors of segments $DE$ and $DF$, respectively. Let $P$ be the intersection of $YE$ and $ZF$ and let $G$ be the centroid of $ABC$. Show that the tangents at $B$ and $C$ to the circumcircle of $ABC$ and the line $PG$ are concurrent.
