If you are at Vr and pull back and don't have any elevator well you don't really have any choice. I would say the chances that you would lose control authority between V1 and Vr when they are practically the same speed on your airplane are about .0000001% and there is no way you could reconize that fact in the time it takes to go from V1 to Vr and rotate. We're splitting hairs.
