Presta has no internal check valve spring, like Schrader valve cores do , they have a check valve ,

but it is closed by the air pressure difference being higher in side than the surrounding atmosphere..

with a hand pump you only make the air in the pump higher than whats in the tube
without a spring keeping the valve closed, to work against,..
