Ha trovato il picco di forma a fine stagione e lo ha sfruttato nel migliore dei modi: dopo il Lombardia Bike Mollema si porta a casa anche la Japan Cup grazie ad un attacco che lo ha visto protagonista con Michael Woods. Sullo strappo finale, il canadese della EF Education First ha dovuto arrendersi alla forza dell'olandese della Trek Segafredo che ha hiuso così alla grande la sua stagione.
