Race not starting in Armada mode

For several times now, the following happens:

I start in armada mode and search for a game. After a short period the game has found one and I am connected to it.
Then at some moment, I do see the bikers and I can adjust everything. And then I have to wait for the match to starts.
And then the issue is there as I wait and I wait and still I wait but nothing happens.

In other words I am at the startline and we never start to ride. We just keep waiting.
What can I do to get it started and my bikers finally start moving. As this way, i cannot make any coins to enlarge my collection.

thanks
