In 2018 she finished 2nd overall in the Giro Rosa and La Flèche Wallonne Féminine. She also took the final podium place at La Course by Le Tour de France.[12] In 2019 she placed 4th overall at the Giro Rosa and took 5th in La Course by Le Tour de France.
In September 2020, Moolman signed a two-year contract with the SD Worx team, from the 2021 season.[13] In the 2021 Giro Rosa she finished in 2nd place and claimed a stage win on stage 9.[14] In July 2022, she was named as one of the pre-race favourites for the first edition of the Tour de France Femmes.[15]
