Doesn't say clinchers can't be used, though.
For web use a wheel is basically gem. UCI rules require. The wheel must be in a safe condition.
Well, clincher rims are uci legal. I know you love clinchers. Problem solved.

Actually no. What are UCI legal are wheels that are declared UCI legal. For mass start road these are standard wheels and those certified by the UCI as acceptable:

Front disc wheels, for example, are allowed in races against the clock.. For "Hour Record" I think you need at least 16 spokes--- and, interestingly, no more than 32-- with a cross section of no more than 2mm. That excludes, for example, Sapim CX-Rays. I am out of the loop on the technical rules these days but it is not just ...
There is this wonderfull concept of "safety" and that empowers a lot of disqualifications and rule changes...

"Sicherheitszustand der Bahnräder:
Aus gegebener Veranlassung wird darauf hingewiesen, dass Schlauchreifen auf den Felgen nur mit einem speziellen Kleber aufgeklebt werden dürfen. Die Verwendung von Klebebändern oder einem normalen Schlauchreifenklebekitt ist nicht zulässig, da diese Anwendung die Reifen nicht genügend mit der Felge verklebt. Das Abspringen der Reifen von der Felge führt im Normalfall zum Sturz, wobei die sich daraus ergebenden Folgen vom Verursacher selbst zu tragen sind. "
They are not the only track but the easiest to link to and cut-paste...
