Weird general question: why do you rarely see sprinters "pull up" like running sprinters because they've pulled something?

I'd think that would happen more often when going at full tilt, perhaps.

I welcome your thoughts.

Because it rarely, if ever happens. Hamstring injuries are incredibly rare in cycling, because the limited range of movement doesn't stretch it in the way that running, and especially sprinting, do.

Hamstrings, yes, but there are times when I've thought, "if I cane it now my knee is going to go." Maybe pro-cyclists don't let chronic knee injuries fester without proper treatment ;)
