Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter IX, § 5. Conjugacy classes

Call an element gg of G very regular if Z(g)Z(g) is a maximal torus of G. If g∈T,gg\in T,g is very regular if and only if w(g)≠gw(g)\not=g for every non-identity element ww of WG(T)(W_G(T) (§4, no. 7, Prop. 14). Thus, the set of very regular elements is a dense open subset of G (§2, no. 5, Cor. 2 of Prop. 5).

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
