I know the usual Lommel stuff, but I'm guessing sometimes its just too wet & miserable to ride there?

Just wondering if anyone knows where riders tend to base themselves around the winter time?

Tends to vary between Spain and Italy/Sardinia. A lot of people do still ride in Belgium and Holland though. In Prado’s Gypsy Tales podcast he talks about how much he travelled during pre season last year

Grevenbroich Germany is also a hot spot for MXGP riders recent years during the week. Big sandpit and always rideable even when tracks like Lommel are to wet. 

Sardinia is also well liked in recent years for team bootcamps.

Herlings for example always really likes to get his training done in Spain. Every year you can find him at Red Sand and last winter he stayed down a long time in the south close to Malaga.
