ASP .NET MVC 5 legacy url

I have to redirect old url (from a Classic Asp website) to the new ones generated using ASP .NET MVC. Example:

From localhost/news.asp to localhost/News

I addend the following rule:

   routes.MapRoute(
            "legacyUrl1",
            "{controller}.asp/{action}/{id}",
            new { controller = "News", action = "RedirectLegacyURL", id = UrlParameter.Optional } 
        );

//in news controller
 public void RedirectLegacyURL(string id)
    {
        Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently";
        Response.AddHeader("Location", "news/" );
        Response.End();
    }

But the rules "it uses" is the following:

    routes.MapRoute(
            "Normal",
            "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } 
        );

How is this possible? This thing causes problem when I have to redirect legacy urls with query string.

routes.Redirect(r => r.MapRoute("", "news.asp")).To(routes.Map("", "Home/Index", new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" }));

This is how I redirect my old .asp routes
